MLB Ejections 12-15 - Mahrley & Ted Barrett (OAK-HOU)

HP Umpire Nick Mahrley ejected Astros Manager Dusty Baker (strike two call; QOCY) and 1B Umpire Ted Barrett ejected A's CF Ramon Laureano, C Austin Allen, and P Mike Fiers (fighting) in the 7th inning of the #Astros-#Athletics game. With none out and none on in the top of the 7th, Astros batter Kyle Tucker took a 1-1 fastball from Athletics pitcher Burch Smith for a called second strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the heart of home plate and at the hollow of the knee (px 0.18, pz 1.62 [sz_bot 1.69 / RAD 1.57]), the call was correct.*

In the bottom of the 7th, with one out and none on, A's batter Laureano took a 3-2 curveball from Astros pitcher Humberto Castellanos for a hit-by-pitch, resulting in a benches-clearing brawl when Laureano charged the Houston dugout in response to Astros hitting coach Alex Cintron's taunting. Replays indicate the pitch was located inside and struck Laureano in the back, Laureano's second HBP of the game (different pitchers), the call was irrecusable. At the time of all ejections, the Athletics were leading, 6-2. The Athletics ultimately won the contest, 7-2.
