Cubs’ Twitter trolls those complaining about the ivy

After a controversial moment during the game involving the ivy in the outfield, the Chicago Cubs‘ Twitter trolled those complaining about the ivy.

The Chicago Cubs are down 3-0 in the series to the New York Mets, but the big takeaway from the game was the incident involving the ivy in the Cubs’ outfield late in the game after Wilmer Flores lined a shot down right field that Jorge Soler mistimed.

As a result, the ball rolled into the ivy and the call on the field was ruled a ground rule double, which has always been the rule at Wrigley Field, and may have cost the Mets a run. Mets manager Terry Collins came out and argued that his team was getting robbed because of it, and he had a good merit to his argument as the second run would have likely scored anyways.

With everyone tweeting about the ivy at Wrigley Field and blasting the Cubs for a rule that’s been in place for a long time, the Cubs’ Twitter posted a classic tweet to troll everyone hating on the ivy.

The sarcastic tweet showed that while yes it’s a controversial call and could very well be a bad rule, it’s been in effect for a long time and no one has complained about it until now.

People’s complaints on the issue are probably warranted and Terry Collins’ complaint for sure is warranted with the umpires. However, the Cubs’ Twitter account is tired of hearing about it.
