RF McCarthy Receives 3-Game Suspension Friday, June 3rd, 2022 The Kansas City Tornadoes were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to South Carolina at Bomber Ballpark. One in particular -- Todd McCarthy. Upon being called out on strikes, the Tornadoes 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 McCarthy 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 McCarthy 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 McCarthy for 3 games. So far this season McCarthy has gotten 72 hits in 222 at-bats for a .324 batting average with 12 home runs. His stats include 45 RBIs and 35 runs scored. He has played in 54 games. |
