Reports said MLB warned Eddings that he had gone too far in admonishing Rincon, a rare public rebuke of an umpire by the league. Eddings then apologized to Rincon before the next day's game, and it was unclear whether he would face further discipline.

During a Cardinals-Rockies game in Denver, Eddings stopped play to tell St. Louis rookie pitcher Hancel Rincon, making his MLB debut, to straighten his tilted cap. The incident led to manager Oliver Marmol being ejected after arguing the call, and Eddings's later safe call at home plate was heavily criticized.
