MLB umpire Derek Thomas exhibited a quick temper during the Chicago Cubs' game against the Detroit Tigers, as he ejected Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner for protesting a called third strike. Hoerner argued that the pitch from Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty was low and inside, a sentiment echoed in the on-field audio where he simply remarked, 'You're having a really bad day.' Despite attempts from Hoerner and Cubs manager Craig Counsell to discuss the call, both were sent off by Thomas. The Tigers went on to win the game 4-0, with the incident reigniting debates about the need for automated ball and strike calls.
