MLB Ejection 022 - Brennan Miller (1; Mike Schildt)

HP Umpire Brennan Miller ejected Cardinals Manager Mike Shildt (strike one after HBP warnings no-call; QOCY) in the bottom of the 9th inning of the #Phillies-#Cardinals game. With two out and none on, Cardinals batter Nolan Arenado took a first-pitch fastball from Phillies pitcher Hector Neris for a hit-by-pitch, the first hit batsman of the game, resulting in a crew consultation with no warnings/ejection issued. Ensuing batter Tyler O'Neill then took a first-pitch splitter from Nerris for a called first strike upon which Shildt was ejected. Replays indicate the pitch was located over the heart of home plate and at the hollow of the knee (px 0.27, pz 1.52 [sz_bot 1.51 / RAD 1.39]), the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the game was tied, 3-3. The Cardinals ultimately won the contest, 4-3, in 10 innings. 

This is Brennan Miller (55)'s 1st ejection of 2021.
Brennan Miller now has 4 points in the UEFL Standings (0 Prev + 2 AAA + 2 Correct Call = 4).
Crew Chief James Hoye now has 2 points in Crew Division (1 Previous + 1 Correct Call = 2).

*This pitch was located 2.60 vertical inches from being deemed incorrect.
