1B Umpire Ron Kulpa ejected Cardinals manager Mike Shildt (untimely Replay Review request) and HP Umpire Chad Fairchild ejected pitcher Genesis Cabrera (ball four call) in Cincinnati. Report: www.closecallsports.com/2021/...
Managers have 20 seconds from the end of a play and umpire's call to challenge/request a review. Kulpa ejected Shildt for arguing the crew chief's decision to deny the challenge request for being untimely by taking longer than 20 seconds to request a review. The original call - an out call at first base - would likely have been overturned had the review been permitted as replays indicate the runner was likely safe.
Cabrera's ejection was a ball/strike dispute on a 3-2 count. Fairchild ejected Cabrera for what's known as "actions intended to ridicule" in the MLB Umpire Manual, as Cabrera was walking from the pitcher's mound to the dugout after the walk.
