"HP Umpire Chris Guccione ejected Braves Manager Bobby Cox for arguing a ball four call in the top of the 3rd inning of the Nationals-Braves game. With two out and three on, Nationals center fielder Willie Harris took a 3-1 fastball from Braves pitcher Buddy Carlyle for a called fourth ball, resulting in a walk that forced in a run. After Harris left for first base, Cox exited the dugout, resulting in a warning from Guccione, and as Cox continued walking toward home plate, he was ejected. Replays show the 3-1 pitch was located just above the knee in height, but slightly off the plate and inside, the call was correct."
This is Chris Guccione (68)'s second ejection of 2008.
This is the 127th ejection of 2008.
This is the 62nd manager ejection of 2008.
This is Cox's sixth ejection of 2008, giving him sole possession of the lead in managerial ejections (Cooper [HOU], Gardenhire [MIN] have four ejections each).
