While the Chicago Cubs were getting their ass kicked by the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday, home plate umpire Greg Gibson was being a giant cry baby.
After a disastrous third inning that featured a blown relay by Jason Heyward and Addison Russell that led to a two-out grand slam, Cubs bench coach Brandon Hyde was ejected in the fourth sticking up for Willson Contreras.
Following the game, Contreras explained that he got upset over something Gibson told him after Contreras called for time. Whatever was said obviously struck a nerve, but the Cubs' catcher didn't want to get into it with the umpire himself, so that's why he signaled over to the bench for some help.
Here's how it all played out.
And what exactly made the home plate umpire say something in the first place?
Because Willson Contreras didn't say thank you after calling for time.
Unfucking believable.
Everyone needs to find out what this shit bag of an umpire said to Contreras. Man, if only there was a way MLB could mic up umpires to give fans an inside look at what happens on the field. Oh wait, they can do that? Oh wait, they have done that, but want to hide it?
Ah, classic MLB, always doing what's best for fans. Anyway, Greg Gibson, what a sorry excuse for an umpire. Lashing out because a player didn't say thank you for calling timeout? And people wonder why fans absolutely hate umps. Trash. And I doubt Gibson suffers any consequences from this. Bravo MLB. Less of Greg Gibson, more of this.
