 | 3B Rosas Given 6-Game Suspension Tuesday, May 27th, 2014 The New Orleans Jedi Knights were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to St. Paul at Saints Ballpark. One in particular -- Jorge Rosas. Upon being called out on strikes, the Jedi Knights third 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 Rosas 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 Rosas 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 Rosas for 6 games. This year Rosas has collected a .235 batting average to date with 36 hits in 153 at-bats, 23 RBIs, 3 home runs and scored 19 times. He has played in 46 games. |   |
