6 years agoAtlanta Braves relief pitcher Shane Carle was ejected in the bottom of the seventh inning after hitting outfielder Rhys Hoskins on the left shoulder. The pitch came on the very next at-bat after Bryce Harper tattooed a ball deep into the Philly night, so home-plate umpire Rob Drake tossed him immediately. However, to be fair to Carle, the ball has slipped out of the hand of plenty of pitchers on a chilly night in Philly. Whether it was intentional or not, it doesn't matter. It's unlikely he'll face any kind of disciplinary action for the ejection, as it appeared to be a mistake.--Daniel Dobish
