Before i start, here is the play if you haven't seen it.
In case you haven't seen the play, then here it is.
DeWayne Wise was in the middle of a disputed call during Tuesday night's game.
Wise was tracking down a line drive off the bat of Jack Hannahan when he dove into the stands in left field. Third base umpire Mike DiMuro called Hannahan out right away, even though he didn't even check to see if Wise had possession of the ball.
Wise ran off the field without arguing the call.
He was asked about the call after the game.
"What am i supposed to do? Run back to left field?" Wise told reporters. "I just ran off the field."
Mike Dimuro, the third base umpire who made the call, had this to say about the play.
"Now that i see the tape, it's obvious that the ball fell out of his glove," Dimuro said. "I should have asked him to show me the ball. "
Jack Hannahan was ejected in the eighth inning after arguing the call when he came out to take the field. Jose Lopez replaced him and would hit a 3-run shot to left field in the ninth inning.
Mike Dimuro was asked why he ejected Jack Hannahan and he told reporters that Jack told him to "reference the tape replay."
In my opinion,that is not an excuse to eject a player.
It will be interesting to see what the players around the league think about this.
