C Potts Given 4-Game Suspension Monday, March 8th, 2021 The Mississippi State Bulldogs were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to USC at Crowley College Grounds. One in particular -- Robbie Potts. Upon being called out on strikes, the Bulldogs catcher 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 Potts 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 Potts 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 Potts for 4 games. |
