Cubs (Horton) vs Tigers (Flaherty): 6/8/25, 12:40pm

[Jason Ross]

THEY horsefeathers TOSSED NICO? What a bitch.

[DYMNO]

That is absolute horsefeathers. 

[PeanutPunch33]

This whole umpiring crew is a horsefeathers clown circus.  These guys have no business being on the field 

[JBears79]

I cannot wait for these umpires to be gone. They turn everything into the ump show.

[Soul]

Who is this clown?

[Eeyore]

That's the second time that this guy has missed an inside call on Nico

Yep. Nobody is here to watch them.

Nothing there looked even remotely close to warranting an ejection.

[chibears55]

Dude got a 5 yo haircut and acted like one there...

[NorthsideAvenger]

Time to win this game Cubs. Just to spite these morons in blue.

Do they have an entire training about "being as thin-skinned as possible" at the umpire training academy?

[PeanutPunch33]

And now they have to swing at everything, because everything within a 1 foot radius will be called a strike 

[Soul]

See now they HAVE to swing because the ump doesn’t know the strike zone.  Get these guys out.

Yup. He either offered the kindest "horsefeathers you" ever, or he got his feelings hurt because Nico dared, and kindly, mentioned it wasn't a strike. I'll guess it's closer to the latter.

[Rcal10]

What a terrible umpire. Isn’t he the guy who was at 1st yesterday? Didn’t he call the guy safe on the pickoff to end the game? I don’t think that guy ever even got ti first base. This guy sucks. And then to throw Nico out after he made a terrible call. Wow!!!

[DYMNO]

I'm horsefeathers pissed.

😄 absolutely correct. 

[chibears55]

Cubs bats need to explode next inning and out up a 5 spot or more.

As if the Tigers aren’t hard enough to play against, now we have scoring opportunities just wiped away.

[gflore34]

horsefeathers Tiger' announcers I have to endure - "...that's how you get out a jam..." no, that's officiating having a impact on the results.  Effective officiating should not have an impact either way.

You got to let Nico vent a little there. He wasn't out of line. He didn't try to upstage anybody. And it's Nico! He isn't a guy who makes a habit of abusing umpires. Just a pathetic display by blue.

One of the most frustrating games I’ve be ever watched. I bet they call fan interference on a homerun to tie it up hit into the 3rd row of the outfield seats to end the game, and or there’s a dead ball after a 110 mph fly ball with a 420 ft trajectory hits a seagull and they call it a dead ball with the way things have been going for Detroit.

Umpires are on a power trip like many cops. Whatever, at least Craig got his money's worth 

[Derwood]

This has been a stupid game
