Really liking Pat Murphy as the head coach! He’s got his guys back and these umpires are soft!

Aren't the umps supposed to just kind of walk away after they eject someone?
— Jim (@thejimmyk) May 1, 2024
I’d really like to read the memo that Commissioner Manfred sent to all of the umpires telling them to screw with the Brewers every chance they get.

this is what happens when anybody can gamble on any game at any time from the comfort of their own home. umps throwing games they bet on anonymously or through an agent. get used to it.
