MLB Ejections 169-170 - DJ Reyburn (2-3; Callaway, Harper)

HP Umpire DJ Reyburn ejected Mets Manager Mickey Callaway (check swing bunt strike two call; QOCY) in the top of the 10th and Nationals RF Bryce Harper (strike three call; QOCN) in the bottom of the 12th inning of the Mets-Nationals game. In the 10th, with none out and one on, Mets batter Jeff McNeil attempted to not bunt at a 1-1 fastball from Nationals pitcher Greg Holland. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and at the hollow of the knee (px -.698, pz 1.432 [sz_bot 1.565 / RAD 1.442 / MOE 1.359]) and that all other pitches during the at-bat were properly officiated, the call was correct.* At the time of Callaway's ejection, the game was tied, 1-1.

In the 12th, with one out and none on, Harper took a 1-2 fastball from Mets pitcher Paul Sewald for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located off the inner edge of home plate and above the knees (px 0.925, pz 1.864 [sz_bot 1.601]), the call was incorrect.^ At the time of Harper's ejection, the Mets were leading, 5-4. The Mets ultimately won the contest, 5-4.
