In one of the most bizarre and human moments of the MLB season so far, veteran home plate umpire Bill Miller found himself cursing himself out — on a hot mic — after a controversial overturned call during Friday night’s game between the Red Sox and Twins at Fenway Park.
The incident happened in the bottom of the eighth, with Boston’s Jarren Duran trying to score from first on a Rafael Devers gapper to right-center. Duran appeared to just beat the tag from Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers, and Miller initially called him safe, sending Fenway into a frenzy.
But hold on.
The Twins challenged the play, and upon review, the replay clearly showed Jeffers got the tag down just before Duran’s hand touched home plate. The call was overturned, Duran was ruled out, and Miller calmly announced:
“After review, the call on the field is overturned. The runner is out. Minnesota retains.”
Nothing out of the ordinary, until the NESN broadcast went to commercial.
Unbeknownst to him, Miller’s mic was still live. That’s when viewers heard the unexpected.
“F**k,” he muttered. “F**king saw that, too. God damn it.”
It was a rare, raw moment of self-frustration from a veteran umpire realizing he missed one, and fans couldn’t stop talking about it.

Triston Casas Injury Casts Shadow Over Red Sox’s Win
The Boston Red Sox secured a 6–1 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night at Fenway Park. However, the win was overshadowed by a serious injury to first baseman Triston Casas.
Despite the setback, the Red Sox offense came alive late in the game. Alex Bregman opened the scoring with a solo home run in the first inning, his eighth of the season. After the Twins tied the game with a solo shot from Ryan Jeffers in the third, the Red Sox broke the deadlock in the seventh. Rafael Devers delivered a two-run single to put Boston ahead. The team added three more runs in the eighth, highlighted by RBI hits from Romy Gonzalez, David Hamilton, and Jarren Duran.
