On Thursday night, the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers faced off in a heated rivalry game. However, the game was overshadowed by a controversial decision made by the umpire and the decision to close the roof at Miller Park.
David Ross, the Cubs’ manager, was not pleased with the umpire’s decision to call a balk on pitcher Alec Mills in the top of the fourth inning. The balk allowed Brewers’ outfielder Christian Yelich to advance to second base. Ross argued that the balk was not warranted and was visibly frustrated with the umpire’s call.
The situation was further complicated when the roof at Miller Park was closed in the bottom of the fourth inning. This decision was made by Brewers’ manager Craig Counsell, who said that he wanted to protect his players from the rain. Ross was not happy with this decision and argued that it gave the Brewers an unfair advantage.
Ross made his feelings clear after the game, saying: “I don’t think it’s fair for one team to have an advantage over the other. It’s not right for one team to have a roof and the other team to be out in the elements. It’s not fair and it’s not right.”
The controversy surrounding this game has caused many to question the fairness of the umpire’s decision and the decision to close the roof. It is clear that David Ross is not happy with either decision and believes that they gave the Brewers an unfair advantage. It remains to be seen if Major League Baseball will take any action in response to this incident.
