Ejections: Jeff Nelson (4)

HP Umpire Jeff Nelson ejected White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez for arguing a called strike three in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Rangers-White Sox game. With one out and none on, Ramirez took a 3-2 slider from Rangers pitcher Mike Adams for a called strike three. Replays indicate the pitch was knee high and over the outside corner of the plate, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the Rangers were leading, 7-4. The Rangers ultimately won the contest, 7-4.

This is Jeff Nelson (45)'s fourth ejection of 2011.
Jeff Nelson now has 15 points in the Umpire Ejection Fantasy League (11 Previous + 2 MLB + 2 Correct Call = 15).
Jeff Nelson is owned as a Secondary Umpire by spence1222, who is now tied for 12th place in the UEFL with 15 points.

This is the 162nd ejection of 2011.
This is the 76th player ejection of 2011.
Prior to his ejection, Ramirez was 1-4 in the contest.

    Great call by Jeff. This right here is the reason you cannot argue balls/strikes. Players are rats.

    Nelson is definitely one of the best, and he absolutely nailed this one.
