MLB Ejections 178-179 - Adam Hamari (3-4; Kemp, Snitker)

HP Umpire Adam Hamari ejected Braves LF Matt Kemp and Interim Manager Brian Snitker for arguing a strike two call in the top of the 3rd inning of the Braves-Marlins game. With two out and the bases loaded, Braves batter Nick Markakis took a 3-1 slider from Marlins pitcher Andrew Cashner for a called second strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer edge of home plate and at the midpoint (px -.891, pz 3.557 [sz_top 3.670]), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Marlins were leading, 2-1. The Braves ultimately won the contest, 3-2.

This is Adam Hamari (78)'s third, fourth ejection of the 2016 MLB regular season.
Adam Hamari now has 18 points in the UEFL Standings (8 Previous + 2*[3 AAA + 2 Correct Call] = 18).
