Mics clearly picked up David Ross’ fiery insult to the umpire after his first-inning ejection

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross seemed ready to get an early start on his All-Star break because, well, he didn’t stick around for very long at all on Sunday.

Ross was ejected five pitches into the bottom of the first inning after he took exception with a ball call from home plate umpire Alex Mackay at Yankee Stadium. He also might’ve been annoyed with Mackay calling Kyle Hendricks for a pitch clock violation to start the inning. But either way, it was especially hilarious to see Ross so upset because Mackay hadn’t missed a call yet in the inning.

That didn’t matter to Ross, though, because he emerged from the dugout after the ejection and brought some heat for Mackay. We heard it all, thanks to the YES Network microphones. (Warning: NSFW language)

We could hear him say as he got into Mackay’s face:

“You got one goddamn game before you get a break and you’re that (expletive) bad already?”

That material was top notch, but again, Ross wasn’t even right.

If you’re going to get ejected in the first inning, at least be on the right side of the argument. Ross must’ve had somewhere to be.
