By the way, you (were) outta here
Cox had an ejection added to his career record total, and didn't even know it until the following day.
Cox, third-base coach Brian Snitker, first-base coach Glenn Hubbard and outfielder Matt Diaz were all ejected in the immediate aftermatch of Friday's game-ending play when Gregor Blanco was thrown out trying to score on Yunel Escobar's 10th-inning RBI single in a 4-3 loss against the Phillies.
There was a heated discussion at the plate by several parties after the play, and the Braves received an e-mail Saturday to make sure they were aware that the foursome had been ejected (ejections are accompanied by automatic fines).
Technically, the game was already over when the four got tossed, but an ejection is an ejection, and it goes down in the books.
It raised Cox's total to 139 career ejections, including four this season.
