1B Umpire Sam Holbrook ejected Brewers pitcher Zack Greinke and Brewers Manager Ron Roenicke for arguing a safe call in the bottom of the 1st inning of the Brewers-Astros game. With one on and none out, Astros
batter Jose Altuve hit a 1-1 slider from Greinke to Brewers first baseman Corey Hart (who threw to Greinke covering first) for an infield single. Replays indicate that Greinke's foot did not touch first base prior to Altuve's foot touching first base, the call was correct. At the
time of the ejections, the Astros were leading, 1-0. The Astros ultimately won the contest, 6-3.
These are Sam Holbrook (34)'s third and fourth ejection of 2012.
Sam Holbrook now has 16 points in the UEFL (8 Previous + 2 MLB + 2*[2 Correct Call] = 16).
Crew Chief Joe West now has 4 points in the Crew Division (2 Previous + 2*[1 Correct Call] = 4).
*After review, Quality of Correctness has been affirmed by the UEFL Appeals Board (4-0-1).
*Historical Appeals Board decisions may be consulted via the UEFL Portal.*
