HP Umpire Edwin Moscoso ejected Rangers manager Bruce Bochy (foul tip call; QOCY) in the top of the 5th inning of the #WhiteSox-#Rangers game.

This is Edwin Moscoso (32)'s 3rd ejection of 2024.
Official Baseball Rules: "A FOUL TIP is a batted ball that goes sharp and direct from the bat to the catcher and is legally caught. It is not a foul tip unless caught, and any foul tip that is caught is a strike, and the ball is in play."

MLB Ejection 078 - Vic Carapazza (5; Bruce Bochy)

HP Umpire Vic Carapazza ejected Rangers manager Bruce Bochy (runner's lane interference no-call; QOCY) in the bottom of the 4th inning of the #Rangers-#Mariners game. With one out and one on, Mariners batter Victor Robles bunted a first-pitch changeup from Rangers pitcher Andrew Heaney back to the pitcher, whose throw to first base failed to retire Robles, resulting a bunt single. Replays indicate Robles failed to run within the expanded runner's lane (traditional lane + extension of the dirt in fair territory), but in doing so did not interfere with the fielder taking the throw at first base (1B Nathaniel Lowe), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Mariners were leading, 3-2. The Mariners ultimately won the contest, 3-2.

This is Vic Carapazza (19)'s 5th ejection of 2024.
Official Baseball Rule 5.09(a)(11): "A batter is out when in running the last half of the distance from home base to first base, while the ball is being fielded to first base, they run outside (to the right of) the three-foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line and on the infield grass, and in the umpire’s judgment in so doing interfere with the fielder taking the throw at first base, in which case the ball is dead."
^Baseball Rules Difference: NCAA & NFHS both would have RLI here if the umpire deems that the runner's illegal position interfered with the fielder making the throw (OBR only relates to the fielder taking the throw).

MLB Ejection 107 - DJ Reyburn (4; Bruce Bochy)

HP Umpire DJ Reyburn ejected Rangers manager Bruce Bochy (Replay Review decision overturning Reyburn's out call to safe due to a violation of the home plate collision rule; QOCN) in the bottom of the 8th inning of the #Rangers-#WhiteSox game. With one on (R2) and two out, White sox batter Zach Remillard hit a 0-1 slider from Rangers pitcher Grant Anderson on a line drive to left fielder Travis Jankowski, who threw home as White Sox baserunner R2 Elvis Andrus arrived at home plate, ruled out by HP Umpire Reyburn. Upon Replay Review as the result of a challenge by White Sox manager Pedro Grifol, Reyburn's out call was overturned to safe by virtue of a violation of the home plate collision (plate blocking) rule by Rangers catcher Jonah Heim.

Not withstanding the above, it shall not be considered a violation of this Rule 6.01(i)(2) if the catcher blocks the pathway of the runner in a legitimate attempt to field the throw."
OBR 6.01(i)(2) Comment states: "A catcher shall not be deemed to have violated Rule 6.01(i)(2) unless they have both blocked the plate without possession the ball (or when not in a legitimate attempt to field the throw), and also hindered or impeded the progress of the runner attempting to score. A catcher shall not be deemed to have hindered or impeded the progress of the runner if, in the judgment of the umpire, the runner would have been called out notwithstanding the catcher having blocked the plate."
