Richard Bleier was called for his first three career balks in one at-bat
Players are not allowed to argue balks, and are subject to ejection for doing so. The umps were lenient with a very angry Bleier after the three pitches, but after the inning, which came to a close when he ultimately retired Alonso, he was ejected alongside Marlins manager Don Mattingly.
After the game, first base umpire John Tumpane explained he believed Bleier had not come to a complete stop before his delivery, causing the balk calls.he told MLB.com “It’s the same move I’ve been doing for 300 innings, and here we are,” Bleier said after the game. “Maybe I was balking. I watched the video. I completely disagreed, but I’m biased, so I don’t know.”
