MLB Fans Crush Ump in Cubs-Brewers After His Embarrassing Mistake Leads to Two Ejections

The Cubs beat the Brewers in a wild game on Tuesday, and they did so with manager David Ross and first base coach Mike Napoli watching the final outs from the clubhouse after they were both ejected following an embarrassing mistake by the home plate umpire. 

In case you missed it, Erich Bacchus, who had a brutal day calling balls and strikes, rang up Dansby Swanson on a called third strike in the top of the 11th inning. The only problem? It was just strike two on Swanson. 

Napoli was ejected moments after that for having words with the first base umpire and then Ross came out and got tossed by Bacchus. Ross then completely tore the umps apart in a brutally honest postgame interview.
