Ben Zobrist Ejected for Telling Umpire That Players Want an Electronic Strike Zone

Cubs utilityman Ben Zobrist was ejected from Tuesday's game after arguing with an umpire and saying players want an electronic strike zone, according to MLB.com.

During the sixth inning of the Cubs-Brewers matchup, Zobrist first expressed his feelings over a called third strike with homeplate umpire Phil Cuzzi. Manager Joe Maddon came out of the dugout to also argue the call and was tossed from the game.
