"Damn crowd's too damn loud. The crowd was so loud that the catcher couldn't hear the call from the umpire standing just over his shoulder."
"In the 2nd inning of the second game of the season, Hoerner went on to walk, then stole second and advanced to third on a Moisés Ballesteros single."
During a Cubs vs. Nationals game, umpire Jim Wolf mistakenly thought catcher Drew Millas requested a review due to crowd noise. Millas clarified he just wanted to confirm a ball call. Wolf humorously complained about the loud crowd, which hindered communication. In the same inning, Nico Hoerner walked, stole second, advanced to third on a single, and scored the game's first run on a sac fly by Matt Shaw.
