Reds Pitcher Ferguson Regrets Unprofessional Umpire Rant

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Caleb Ferguson has issued an apology for his "unprofessional" behavior directed at umpire Bill Miller. The incident occurred after Ferguson gave up a grand slam, leading to a frustrating situation on the field. Videos circulating on social media captured Ferguson's apparent profanity towards the umpire.

Ferguson stated he regretted his actions, noting that such outbursts are uncharacteristic for him. He acknowledged that he "had to be better" and planned to speak with Miller directly to "make it right." Reds manager Terry Francona also commented on the situation, expressing disappointment but directing inquiries about umpire positioning to Miller himself.
