MLB umps have been dreadful this year. If they’re not making embarrassing calls behind the plate, then they’re making even more maddening calls on the bases.
They’ve also had some childish moments, like the time that one ump stared down Madison Bumgarner before throwing him out of the game. Oh, and there was that ump who almost confronted another Diamondbacks pitcher in a different game.
On Friday night, the home plate ump in the Reds-Cardinals game had one of those embarrassing moments when he took off his mask after a bad call and seemed to stare down Cardinals pitcher Giovanny Gallegos.
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was rightfully not happy with that and yelled a F-bomb at the ump while telling him were to go. There’s a F-bomb coming up in the tweet/video below so if you don’t like that stuff then exit this post and run for the hills.
"Fucking get behind the plate!"
