Miami Loses SS Taylor, Suspended by League Sunday, May 11th, 2014 The Miami Hurricanes were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Oklahoma at Biglerville College Fields. One in particular -- Jason Taylor. Upon being called out on strikes, the Hurricanes shortstop 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 Taylor 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 Taylor 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 Taylor for 4 games. This season Taylor is batting .258 with 23 hits, 1 home run, 9 RBIs, .353 OBP and has scored 12 runs. |
