Ejections 104, 105: Brian Knight (3, 4)

HP Umpire Brian Knight ejected Brewers Bench Coach Jerry Narron and Brewers Manager Ron Roenicke for arguing a ball call in the top of the 9th inning of the Astros-Brewers game. With none out and one on, Astros batter Justin Maxwell took a 1-2 curveball from Brewers pitcher Francisco Rodriguez for a called ball two. Replays indicate the 1-2 curveball was thigh high and well over the outer portion of the plate when it crossed the plate, the call was incorrect (px value = 0.588).* At the time of the ejections, the Brewers were leading, 10-1. The Brewers ultimately won the contest, 10-1.

These are Brian Knight (91)'s third and fourth ejections of 2012.

Brian Knight now has -2 points in the UEFL (2 Previous + 2*[2 MLB] + 2*[-4 Incorrect Call] = -2).

Crew Chief Mike Winters now has 3 points in the Crew Division (3 Previous + 2*[0 Incorrect Call] = 3).

* The 1-2 pitch had a px value of 0.588, which, assuming compliant vertical location, must be a strike.
**After review, Quality of Correctness has been affirmed by the UEFL Appeals Board (6-0).
