Reds pitcher berates 'f—ing fata–' umpire for costing him an inning-ending out

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Caleb Ferguson should not expect a dinner invite from umpire Bill Miller’s family anytime soon.

Ferguson was a strike away from ending a brutal 7th inning that saw the Seattle Mariners pound the Reds for six runs at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Wash. Ferguson got batter Victor Robles to hit a weak bouncer to second base that should have been an out under normal circumstances.

But as second baseman Edwin Arroyo prepared to make the routine play, standing in his way was Miller. The veteran umpire inadvertently screened Arroyo as an offensive lineman would block for his running back.

“F—ing fata–, get out of the way! Fat motherf—er!” Ferguson appeared to say.
