Bowa expects to hear from MLB over ejection

Larry Bowa said Wednesday that he expects a letter from Joe Torre, Major League Baseball's discpline czar, after the Phillies bench coach's ejection from Tuesday's loss to the New York Mets.

Bowa had not received word about a potential suspension or fine as of two hours before Wednesday night's first pitch at Citizens Bank Park. Major League Baseball, according to a spokesman, was "reviewing the circumstances" of the ejection.

The action by home plate umpire Dan Bellino stemmed from Bowa and the Phillies' taking issue with a quick pitch from Mets reliever Hansel Robles, who began to pitch while Darin Ruf's head was down.
