2015 No-Hitter 5, John Tumpane (1; Mike Fiers)

HP Umpire John Tumpane called Astros pitcher Mike Fiers' no-hitter against the Dodgers, the fifth of 2015. Tumpane was joined for Friday's Dodgers-Astros game by 1B Umpire Bill Welke, 2B Umpire James Hoye and 3B Umpire and Crew Chief John Hirschbeck. This is Tumpane's first career MLB no-hitter; crewmate John Hirschbeck previously called Roy Halladay's postseason no-hitter on October 6, 2010.

Friday's is the first MLB no-hitter since August 12, 2015 (Jeff Nelson; Hisashi Iwakuma).

Tumpane received 69 callable pitches from Fiers, a total of 46 balls and 23 called strikes. The look:

Balls: 46 called balls outside of strike zone / 0 called balls within strike zone = 46/46 = 100.0% Accuracy.
Strikes: 21 called strikes inside strike zone / 2 called strikes outside strike zone = 21/23 = 91.3% Accuracy.
Total Raw Accuracy Score = 67/69 = 97.1% Accuracy (+2 for Fiers).

MLB Ejections 164-165: Brian Knight (1-2; Fuld, Melvin)

HP Umpire Brian Knight ejected Athletics CF Sam Fuld and Manager Bob Melvin for arguing an interference (runner's lane) call in the top of the 5th inning of the Athletics-Orioles game. With two out and none on, Fuld bunted a 0-0 fastball from Orioles pitcher Chris Tillman on the ground to catcher Caleb Joseph, who threw to first baseman Chris Davis. Replays indicate Joseph's throw hit Fuld and that Fuld had run the entire distance from home plate to first base in fair territory and outside of the runner's lane at 45-feet, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejections, the Orioles were leading, 3-1. The Orioles ultimately won the contest, 4-2.

These are Brian Knight (91)'s first and second ejections of 2015.
Brian Knight now has 7 points in the UEFL Standings (-1 Prev + 2*[2 MLB + 2 Correct Call] = 7).
Crew Chief Ron Kulpa now has -4 points in Crew Division (-6 Previous + 2 Correct Call = -4).

Replays indicate Fuld ran on the infield grass.

*Relevant Rule: 5.09(a)(11) (2014 OBR Rule 6.05(k)): Batter is out when, "In running the last half of the distance from home base to first base, while the ball is being fielded to first base, he runs outside (to the right of) the three-foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line, and in the umpire’s judgment in so doing interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base, in which case the ball is dead." The rule's comment permits the batter-runner to exit the three-foot lane "in the immediate vicinity of first base for the sole purpose of touching first base." However, all interpretations of this rule state that the batter-runner loses the protection afforded by the comment if he had not been running in the lane to begin with (e.g., if he never actually "exited" the lane because he wasn't ever within the lane; the courtesy of protection is only afforded to runners actually exiting the lane).
Jim Evans: "A runner who has advanced the entire distance from home plate to first in fair territory making no effort to run within the lane is not extended the same leniency as the runner who runs in the lane as required and then cuts into fair territory near the base to touch it."
Harry Wendelstedt addresses quality of the throw: "The determination is not whether the throw is true, but whether it could still reasonably retire the runner."

These are the 164th and 165th ejections of the 2015 MLB Regular Season.

MLB Ejection 163: Dan Iassogna (3; Pat Murphy)

3B Umpire Dan Iassogna ejected Padres Interim Manager Pat Murphy for arguing a balk non-call (reversed balk) made by 2B Umpire John Tumpane in the top of the 6th inning of the Padres-Rockies game. With two out and three on, Rockies pitcher Chris Rusin was called for a balk by Tumpane, who reversed the ruling after consultation with umpires Iassogna, Lance Barrett (1B) and CB Bucknor (HP). Replays indicate Rusin began his natural motion and continued delivery to home plate out of Windup Position and therefore did not violate balk provisions pertaining to the no-stop restriction that is applicable to Set Position, the (no-)call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Rockies were leading, 1-0. The Rockies ultimately won the contest, 5-0.

This is Dan Iassogna (58)'s third ejection of 2015.
Dan Iassogna now has 11 points in the UEFL Standings (8 Prev + 2 MLB + 1 Correct-Crewmate = 11).
Crew Chief Dan Iassogna now has 2 points in Crew Division (1 Previous + 1 Correct Call = 2).

*Rusin's continuous motion is legal if he pitches from Windup Position, but illegal with runners on base (a balk) if delivered from Set Position as a pitcher must stop with runners on base when bringing hands together (coming set) if using Set Position. Relevant Rule is 5.07(a) in 2015 OBR, or 8.01 in 2014 OBR.
Windup Position: Established by (1) facing the batter, (2) pivot foot in contact with pitcher's plate/rubber, (3) the other foot is free. The free foot may be placed on the rubber, in front of the rubber, behind the rubber, or off to the side of the rubber. "From this position any natural movement associated with his delivery of the ball to the batter commits him to the pitch without interruption or alteration."
Set Position: Established by (1) facing the batter, (2) pivot foot in contact with pitcher's plate/rubber, (3) other for in front of pitcher's plate, (4) holding the ball with both hands in front of his body and coming to a complete stop. A pitcher may not come Set after starting in Windup.
The Stretch: If a pitcher makes "any natural preliminary motion," he shall assume Set Position before delivering the ball to the batter.
In other words, a natural movement associated with delivery of the ball to the batter is a component associated with Windup Position; a natural preliminary motion that is distinct from a natural movement associated with delivery is a component of Set Position.
From the MLB Umpire Manual: A pitcher may assume Windup Position by "facing the batter, hands apart, pivot foot in contact with the rubber, other foot free." Both feet must be squarely on the ground, and the pitcher is not required to assume a stationary position ("pause") before delivery if "any natural movement associated with the start of [his] delivery committees the pitcher to pitch."
In other words, Tumpane called Rusin for a no-stop balk which would be the proper call had Rusin pitched out of Set Position. The decision to reverse the call was made after the crew determined Rusin was actually in Windup Position and, thus, not required to stop (and actually obliged by rule not to stop).
Note About Rules Differences (NFHS/NCAA/OBR): Pat Murphy, having last managed at the "big league" level (D1 or MLB) under NCAA rules, may be unfamiliar with the professional designation regarding Windup and Set-related balks. For instance, NFHS put out a POE on balking illegal hybrid stances while NFHS Rule 6.1.2 has umpires draw an imaginary line through the front edge of the pitcher's plate to determine whether the free foot is legally positioned (it must be even with or behind the line), while prior to 2015, NCAA Rule 9-1-a specifically stated in regards to Windup Position that, "The pitcher’s entire free foot shall not be in front of the pivot foot." Only in 2015 did NCAA change its rule to "with the other foot free." OBR/Pro obviously does not have the "not be in front of" restriction (quite the opposite, it explicitly allows the free foot to be placed in nearly any place relative to the pivot, and has for many years). This is one of several key rules differences that until very recently existed between College/Pro and still does exist between High School and the higher levels. In fact, when the NCAA Rules Committee changed Rule 9-1-a prior to 2015, it wrote in its rationale that the "other foot free" proposal "aligns more closely with the MLB pitcher windup position rule."

This is the 76th Manager ejection of 2015.
