Mics picked up Jeff McNeil’s furious NSFW reaction to umpire Adam Beck’s awful strikeout call

When it comes to accuracy, umpire Adam Beck is slightly below average compared to his peers. Yet, the past week certainly hasn’t been Beck’s best showing behind the plate.

You may remember Beck from the Brewers-Angels fiasco that led to Craig Counsell and Willy Adames getting ejected after Beck weaponized the pitch clock in a spiteful way.

Well, Beck was back behind the plate for Thursday’s game between the Mets and Tigers. And this time, he had Jeff McNeil so upset that the SNY broadcast clearly picked up the Mets infielder cursing at Beck in disbelief after a low strikeout call. (Warning: Video contains NSFW language)

I mean, you can’t really blame McNeil for being angry there.

Just how he took Adames’ reaction personally, Beck appeared to make the strikeout call upon noticing that McNeil quickly moved to take first base on a walk. Some umpires hate when players don’t wait for the call, but really, the priority should be to get the call correct.

Beck missed badly there.

Fans also had thoughts on McNeil’s fiery outburst.

This was how Twitter reacted
