MLB Ejection 152 - Joe West (4; Terry Francona)

HP Umpire Joe West ejected Indians Manager Terry Francona for arguing a check swing (strike three) call by 3B Umpire Mark Ripperger in the bottom of the 9th inning of the Marlins-Indians game. With none out and two on (R1, R2), Indians batter Jason Kipnis attempted to check his swing on a 0-2 changeup from Marlins pitcher Fernando Rodney. Ruling was reviewed and affirmed by the UEFL Appeals Board (8-0-1), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Marlins were leading, 5-3. The Indians ultimately won the contest, 6-5.
