Irate Vielmas Suspended 3 Games Wednesday, August 3rd, 2016 The Detroit Death Stars were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Birmingham at The Death Star. One in particular -- Manny Vielmas. Upon being called out on strikes, the Death Stars right fielder 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 Vielmas 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 Vielmas 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 Vielmas for 3 games. Vielmas is currently batting .260 with 3 home runs, 20 RBIs and 22 runs scored. He has 45 hits in 173 at-bats. |
