1B Umpire Dan Bellino ejected White Sox Manager Robin Ventura for arguing an out (base path deviation of three feet to avoid being tagged) call made by 2B Umpire Tom Woodring in the bottom of the 2nd inning of the Yankees-White Sox game.* With none out and one on, White Sox batter Adrian Nieto hit a 0-1 slider from Yankees pitcher Vidal Nuno on a ground ball to right fielder Ichiro Suzuki, who threw to shortstop Derek Jeter to second baseman Brendan Ryan in a rundown of Nieto between first and second base. Replays indicate that Nieto deviated in excess of three feet from his base path (direct line between Nuno's current position and the base he was attempting to achieve [second base]) to avoid being tagged by Ryan, the call was correct.^ At the time of the ejection, the White Sox were leading, 3-0. The Yankees ultimately won the contest, 4-3, in 10 innings.

This is Dan Bellino (2)'s third ejection of the 2014 MLB Regular Season.
Dan Bellino now has 12 points in the UEFL Standings (9 Prev + 2 MLB + 1 Y [Crewmate] = 12).
Crew Chief Jeff Nelson now has 6 points in the Crew Division (5 Previous + 1 Correct Call = 6).
*2B Umpire Tom Woodring is considered the calling umpire pursuant to UEFL Rule 6-2-c-1-a.
^Official Baseball Rule 7.08(a)(1) specifies a runner is out when, "He runs more than three feet away from his base path to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner’s base path is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely." This is not a "skunk in the outfield" play because a play is actively being made on the runner. (Also not an issue of "baseline")

This is the 56th ejection of the 2014 MLB Regular Season.
This is the 23rd Manager ejection of the 2014 MLB Regular Season.
This is the White Sox's 1st ejection of 2014, T-4th in the AL Central (DET, KC 2; CLE, CWS, MIN 1).

MLB Ejection 055: Seth Buckminster (3; Juan Samuel)

1B Umpire Seth Buckminster ejected Phillies 1B Coach Juan Samuel for Unsportsmanlike-NEC (arguing a previously argued call*) in the bottom of the 5th inning of the Dodgers-Phillies game. In the top of the 5th, with two out and none on, Dodgers batter Yasiel Puig hit a 1-2 sinker from Phillies pitcher Roberto Hernandez on the ground to third baseman Cesar Hernandez who threw to first baseman Ryan Howard after Puig's arrival for an infield single. Replays indicate the batted ball struck Puig's foot before caroming into the infield, the call was irrecusable.* At the time of the ejection, the Dodgers were leading, 2-0. The Dodgers ultimately won the contest, 2-0.

This is Seth Buckminster (67)'s third ejection of the 2014 MLB Regular Season.
Seth Buckminster now has -5 points in the UEFL Standings (-8 Prev + 3 AAA + 0 Irrecusable = -5).
Crew Chief Fieldin Culbreth now has 9 points in the Crew Division (8 Previous + 1 U = 9).
*The Reason for Ejection is deemed Unsportsmanlike-NEC pursuant to UEFL Rule 6-2-b-5-b, also known as the DiMuro Rule. Replays indicate that at the time of the initial play, Phillies Manager Ryne Sandberg met with HP Umpire Manny Gonzalez to argue the play, which stood after crew consultation. Whether a batter is hit by a batted ball is not reviewable; Replay Review may be used to determine only whether a batter has been struck by a pitched ball. For more information, see the Replay Review Regulations for 2014.
**Similarly, Umpire Classification (calling or secondary) is irrelevant because irrecusability is not a points-affecting variable as in Rule 6-2 (Irrecusable Call = 0 QOC Points).

This is the 55th ejection of the 2014 MLB Regular Season.
This is the Phillies' 1st ejection of 2014, T-3rd in the NL East (NYM 3; ATL 2; MIA, PHI 1; WAS 0).
