Chipper Jones crushes ‘toxic’ MLB umpire after questionable calls in Cubs-Tigers
NY Post
Chipper Jones has had enough of a certain MLB umpire.
After multiple questionable calls were made during the Cubs-Tigers game on Saturday, Jones went scorched earth on Doug Eddings.
The Cubs’ 6-1 win was marred with several apparent missed calls, including a couple of called third strikes — including one that looked high and outside to Pete Crow-Armstrong — that were well outside of the zone and what looked to be a wrong ruling on a checked swing by Kyle Tucker.
Jones took to X, claiming Eddings is one of the worst umpires in baseball.
“Not only one of the worst umpires in the league for going on 2 decades … but consistently one of the most confrontational. Toxic combination!” Jones wrote.
Jones, who played for the Braves from 1993-2012, had plenty of run-ins with Eddings, who began working in the MLB in the late 1990s.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
