We presently expect 187 ejections this season, and 1,507 Replay Reviews. As previously noted, ejections dropped off after the Joe Torre memo, but so too did Replay Reviews, which, on July 27, made MLB history when the seasonal number of overturned calls outnumbered those upheld by instant replay for the first time since not only expanded replay was introduced in 2014, but since limited replay was introduced in 2008, as well.
