League Suspends Whitewater's Potter Monday, May 27th, 2019 The Whitewater Eagles were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Houston at Woodland Park. One in particular -- Brent Potter. Upon being called out on strikes, the Eagles 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 Potter 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 Potter 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 Potter for 4 games. In 2019 Potter has hit at a .271 clip with 26 hits, 3 home runs, 17 RBIs and has scored 14 times. |
