Close Call Sports objectively tracks and analyzes close and controversial calls in sport, with great regard for the rules and spirit of the game. Developed from The Left Field Corner's MLB Umpire Ejection Fantasy League (UEFL), baseball's number one source for umpire ejections, video instant replay reviews and their corresponding calls, with great regard for the rules and spirit of the game.
HP Umpire Adam Hamari ejected White Sox Manager Rick Renteria (check swing ball two call by 1B Umpire Chad Whitson) in the top of the 5th inning of the Royals-White Sox game. With none out and one on (R2), Royals batter Alcides Escobar attempted to check his swing on a 1-2 slider from White Sox pitcher Reynaldo Lopez, ruled a ball by Hamari and affirmed as ball two by 1B Umpire Whitson. Replays indicate all pitches during the at-bat were correctly officiated per pitch location; Play was reviewed and adjudicated by the UEFL Appeals Board (4-2-3), the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Royals were leading, 2-0. The Royals ultimately won the contest, 5-0.
