 | Montgomery's Reynolds Suspended 4 Games Monday, August 5th, 2013: The Montgomery Mountain Cats were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Carolina at Mountain Cats Park. One in particular -- Andy Reynolds. Upon being called out on strikes, the Mountain Cats second baseman gave the ump quite an earful. For that, the man in blue gave him the thumb and sent him to an early shower. But the disgruntled Reynolds lingered on the field for another five minutes, berating the umpire. Finally his manager got him off the field and into the clubhouse. But it got worse after the game, when Reynolds told reporters, "He was blind today. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him. If he doesn't know the words to the song, I'm sure we can get it in Braille, so he can follow along." For his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Reynolds for 4 games. This year Reynolds has hit at a .272 clip with 83 hits, 11 home runs, 40 RBIs and 54 runs scored. |   |
