MLB Ejection 050: Jim Joyce (3; Larry Rothschild)

HP Umpire Jim Joyce ejected Yankees Pitching Coach Larry Rothschild for arguing balls and strikes following the conclusion of the bottom of the 9th inning of the Yankees-Nationals game. Pursuant to UEFL Rule 6-5-d, a Balls/Strikes Exemption has been applied, which allows for analysis of Joyce's performance during the half inning immediately preceding ejection.

At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 6-6. The Nationals ultimately won the contest, 8-6, in 10 innings.
