Irate Hernández Suspended 4 Games
Monday, July 1st, 2019
The Baltimore Blue Claws were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to St. Paul at Saints Ballpark. One in particular -- Miguel Hernández. Upon being called out on strikes, the Blue Claws left 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 Hernández 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 Hernández 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 Hernández for 4 games.
This season Hernández is hitting .316 with 3 home runs.
