Cubs manager Joe Maddon expects to be fined after his ejection, subsequent actions and comments Wednesday night in the ninth inning of a 7-6 win over the Reds .
"I don’t know what to say about that call," said Maddon, who was irate that a pitch from Wandy Peralta that struck Ben Zobrist on the left calf was ruled a strike by first base umpire Chris Conroy during a sacrifice situation.

"I guess (home plate umpire Ryan Blakney) wanted me to pull the bat back, but there was nowhere for me to go," Zobrist said.
Pitcher John Lackey felt the call necessitated Maddon's fury.
