Caleb Ferguson had an awful game against the Seattle Mariners last night, allowing a grand slam to struggling slugger Cal Raleigh in a 8-0 Cincinnati Reds loss. His words on the mound appear to be even worse than the meatball he threw Raleigh's way.
With Cincinnati down 7-0 in the bottom of the seventh, needing only one more out to end the inning, Victor Robles hit a chopper that should've been a routine play for second baseman Edwin Arroyo. The only problem is umpire Bill Miller obstructed Arroyo's path, resulting in an extremely fortunate single for Robles and rage from Ferguson.
Lip-readers caught Ferguson telling Miller, "(Expletive) fatass, get out the way. Fat (expletive)." Miller, who's listed at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, kept his cool and did not eject Ferguson. The lefty having to power through that horrendous inning was punishment enough, clearly.
Ferguson has a 3.98 ERA for Cincinnati across 20.1 innings this season. The 30-year-old will hope to keep his composure if he makes another appearance this series.
Will Caleb Ferguson be fined or suspended for umpire incident?
It's possible, but we've seen no word from MLB on that front yet.
