MLB Ejection 146 - Shane Livensparger (2; John Schneider)

HP Umpire Shane Livensparger ejected Blue Jays interim manager John Schneider (ball four call; QOCY) in the top of the 8th inning of the #Angels-#BlueJays game. With two out and two on (R2, R3), Angels batter Mike Ford took a 3-1 curveball from Blue Jays pitcher Yimi Garcia for a called fourth ball. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the outer half of home plate and below the hollow of the knee (px 0.70, pz 1.11 [sz_bot 1.51 / RAD 1.39 / MOE 1.30]) and that all other pitches during the at-bat were properly officiated, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Angels were leading, 1-0. The Angels ultimately won the contest, 2-0.

This is Shane Livensparger (43)'s 2nd ejection of 2022.

*This pitch was located 2.33 vertical inches from being deemed incorrect.
