Hornets Moreno Suspended Tuesday, August 23rd, 2022 The Eureka Hornets were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to So Cal at The Nest. One in particular -- Jorge Moreno. Upon being called out on strikes, the Hornets 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 Moreno 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 Moreno 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 Moreno for 3 games. To date this year Moreno is batting .265 with 4 home runs. |
