Umpire Bill Miller Caught Cursing After Missed Call in Red Sox-Twins Game

MLB umpire Bill Miller made headlines after he missed a call at home plate during a Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins game, initially calling Jarren Duran safe before the play was overturned upon review. Miller's frustration was inadvertently broadcast when he cursed on a hot mic, a moment that went viral and drew praise from fans for his honesty and accountability. The missed call did not significantly impact the outcome, as the Red Sox secured the win. Meanwhile, Yankees announcer Michael Kay faced criticism from fans who accused him of botching a home run call during a game against the Baltimore Orioles, though he never actually called the hit a home run and promptly corrected himself. The incident highlights how live broadcasts, including both umpire and announcer moments, can quickly become focal points for fan reactions and viral attention in the age of social media.
