MLB Ejection 148 - Mark Ripperger (3; Perry Hill)

1B Umpire Mark Ripperger ejected Marlins 1B Coach Perry Hill for arguing a check swing (ball four) call by 3B Umpire Andy Fletcher which occurred in the bottom of the 1st inning of the Marlins-Indians game [Hill's ejection occurred in the top of the 9th inning]. In the 1st, with none out and one on, Indians batter Jason Kipnis attempted to check his swing on a 3-2 fastball from Marlins pitcher Andrew Cashner, ruled "no swing" by U3 Fletcher on appeal from HP Umpire Nic Lentz.* Ruling was reviewed and deferred by the UEFL Appeals Board (0-3-5), the call was irrecusable. At the time of the ejection, the Indians were leading, 6-2. The Indians ultimately won the contest, 6-2.

This is Mark Ripperger (90)'s third ejection of the 2016 MLB regular season.
