Ejections: Marty Foster (6)

3B Umpire Marty Foster ejected Cubs Manager Mike Quade for arguing an instant replay: overturned home run call in the bottom of the 8th inning of the Astros-Cubs game. With two out and one on, Cubs batter Carlos Peña hit a 1-2 changeup to deep left field. The original call on the field made by Foster was a home run, however after replay review the call was overturned and ruled a double. Replays indicate the ball hit the top of the yellow line on the Wrigley Field basket, but not behind. A ball that hits the top or front of the basket is in play, the call was correct. The primary calling umpire is Jeff Nelson as acting Crew Chief (with the absence of Tim Tschida), who made the determination of overturning the original call.* At the time of the ejection, the Astros were leading, 3-2. The Astros ultimately won the contest, 3-2.

This is Marty Foster (60)'s sixth ejection of 2011.
Marty Foster now has 23 points in the Umpire Ejection Fantasy League (20 Previous + 2 MLB + 1 Correct Call [Crewmate] = 23).
Marty Foster was not drafted in 2011.

*Jeff Nelson is credited as the calling umpire under UEFL Rule 6.b.iii.a.2.

This is the 192nd ejection of 2011.

This is the 94th Manager ejection of 2011.
This is Mike Quade's seventh ejection of 2011, leading Major League Baseball in all non-umpire ejections.
