| Larry Vanover ejects Ned Yost on August 3. |
Replay Review #2: In the top of the 3rd, Ausmus challenged Vanover's safe call at first base on the batter-runner. The call was upheld as safe ("call stands"), but we marked this as an incorrect ruling from New York-Replay Operations Center on the UEFL spreadsheet. Officially, though, Vanover received a QOCY score.
Replay Review #3: In the top of the 5th, Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle challenged Vanover's out call at first on the BR. The call was overturned to safe.
Replay Review #4: In the bottom of the 7th, Hurdle challenged Vanover's safe call at first on the BR. The call was overturned to out.
As mentioned above, this is the first time an umpire has been challenged four times in one game, and the second time this season an umpire has received three overturns in a single game.
A quick note: It would be rather difficult to compile statistics to precisely show the opposite condition (how many times an umpire makes the correct call that never makes it to Replay Review due to the call's accuracy). Because of the selective sample created by a manager's discretion in choosing to challenge a play or withhold the challenge, reporting on "stands" and "confirmed" calls would be misleading and rather uninformative.
That said, here are some other notable Replay Review events from earlier this season:
Umpire Has Three Calls Overturned Via Replay Review in One Game [Two Times]

Umpire Has Three Calls Sent to Replay Review in One Game [Three Times]
On August 10, four of Larry Vanover's calls were challenged and three were overturned.
On July 9, three of John Libka's calls were sent to Replay Review and all three were overturned.
On June 16, three of Clint Fagan's calls were reviewed, and only one of them was overturned.
As one might surmise, experiencing three overturned calls in one day also decreased Vanover's league standing on the Umpires' Replay Review leaderboard, but not by all that much. Vanover fell just seven spots, from 68th place before Thursday's games to 75th on Friday morning. (6-for-15 [.400 RAP] prior to Thursday and 7-for-19 [.368 RAP] after.)
Instead, the one stat that does stand out is Vanover's raw count of overturned calls: With 12 reversals, Vanover now leads the league over second-place Clint Fagan and Chris Conroy (each with 11 overturned calls), and third-place Sam Holbrook/Manny Gonzalez (10 apiece). By contrast, Chad Fairchild (6 upheld calls), Pat Hoberg (5 upheld), Sean Barber (2 upheld) and Dale Scott (2 upheld) all have yet to be overturned in 2017.
On a somewhat coincidental note, Vanover was Replay Review's pioneer back in 2014, serving as the Replay Official in New York who affirmed the first call ever challenged under the expanded review system.
