Cincinnati Reds reliever Caleb Ferguson is seen directing profane comments at second-base umpire Bill Miller during a game on Monday night. Multiple reports say the incident follows a defensive play in which Miller appears to block Edwin Arroyo’s path to a ground ball in the seventh inning. Ferguson’s reaction includes yelling at the umpire, and the exchange is captured in accounts from different outlets.
After the confrontation, Yahoo Sports reports that Ferguson apologizes for the remarks he directed at Miller, describing the behavior as “very unprofessional.” The apology addresses the language and manner of his protest rather than disputing the need to argue the call. The reports agree that the dispute centers on whether Miller interfered with Arroyo’s attempt to field the ball.
No outlet included details of disciplinary action in the provided summaries. The available accounts characterize the moment as a heated reaction to a perceived obstruction during a live at-bat.
