In this instance, Counsell was arguing that Phillies runner Otto Kemp interfered with the play as he took an inside the base line path to first base. Counsell, who was ejected rather quickly, was told by Scherwater that Kemp’s path didn’t affect the play. He added that it’s a situation where if first baseman Michael Busch doesn’t catch the ball they call him out.
