Ejections: Bill Miller (2)

HP Umpire Bill Miller ejected Cubs Manager Mike Quade for arguing a called strike three call in top of the 1st inning of the Cubs-Brewers game. With two out and none on, Cubs batter Aramis Ramirez took a 3-2 curveball from Brewers pitcher Zack Greinke for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the heart of the plate, but below the hollow of Ramirez's knees, the call was incorrect.* At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 0-0. The Brewers ultimately won the contest, 3-2.

This is Bill Miller (26)'s second ejection of 2011.

*This call is incorrect per the newly created Miller Rule (UEFL Rule 6.b.ii.b).

Rule 6.b.ii.b. Comment: The formula reads as follows: "sz_top + sz_bot / 2 = C... |C - pz| = D... norm_ht / D = R... 0.0833 * R = E... norm_ht + E = [Lower Bound, Upper Bound]. If this range of [Lower Bound, Upper Bound] is completely greater than |1.000|, then the correct call must be a ball. If this range of [Lower Bound, Upper Bound] at some point is less than or equal to |1.000|, then the correct call may be a strike.

This is the 172nd ejection of 2011.
This is the 83rd Manager ejection of 2011.
This is Mike Quade's sixth ejection of 2011, tying him for the most ejections among Managers, coaches and players with Ron Gardenhire.
