During a recent Major League Baseball game between the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs, home plate umpire Derek Thomas ejected Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner and manager Craig Counsell in the fifth inning after a controversial called third strike against Hoerner. Following the call, Hoerner expressed his frustration by telling Thomas, “you are having a really bad day,” a comment that was captured by broadcast microphones. The Tigers ultimately won the game 4-0, highlighting the focus on umpires rather than the players during the match.
