Cubs’ catcher Willson
Contreras apparently stumbled upon one of the lesser known unwritten rules of
baseball—he forgot to say “thank you” to the home-plate ump after calling for
time in the fourth inning of Saturday’s game against the Reds.
All of a sudden, umpire
Greg Gibson started giving Contreras a piece of his mind, as if the men in blue
had a surplus to share. One thing led to
another, and bench coach Brandon Hyde got ejected for defending Contreras, who
gave his side of the story after the game.
Gibson, naturally, couldn’t be bothered to offer his, although he did
provide yet another reason why umpires will be replaced by electronic sensors
one day, and not a fan or player will miss them.
