SEATTLE — Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Caleb Ferguson apologized Tuesday for his outburst directed toward second base umpire Bill Miller in Monday’s 8-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners.“It’s just a very unprofessional thing on my part,” Ferguson said. “I know these things happen in the game, but I don’t like that I was kind of the centerpiece of what was going on.”Ferguson spoke to the media as soon as the clubhouse opened on Tuesday. He said he hadn’t been in touch with Miller, but wanted to apologize to him in person before Tuesday’s game.“(I’m) going to seek Bill out — or try to at some point — and definitely make it right with him,” Ferguson said. “Very unprofessional on my part. So, nothing you can do with it now. I just have to move on. I know Bill is doing his best not to be in the way in that situation, so I’ve got to be better on my part, too.”In the seventh inning, Reds second baseman Edwin Arroyo ran into Miller while trying to field a grounder by Victor Robles. Ferguson’s expletive-filled reaction was caught on the Mariners’ broadcast.
Edwin Arroyo collides with Bill Miller and Caleb Ferguson has some choice words: "Please move you slender fellow. Just a little of to the side fine, sir". (or something like that)
