The home plate umpire for Sunday’s game between the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres hasn’t had the best strike zone and that includes not really giving pitchers calls at the bottom of the zone.
Joe Maddon had enough near the end of the game.
After Justin Wilson was squeezed in the bottom of the eighth inning, Maddon got on the umpire, yelling at him and the WGN mics picked up Maddon clearly.

Surprisingly, Maddon wasn’t ejected even after saying “that’s bullshit” right at the ump. Joe probably just wanted to start his all-star break early.
