Bad Behavior Costs Lara and Slagboom Tuesday, April 20th, 2021 The league commissioner announced that two players had been suspended for inappropriate conduct. He told BNN, "What I'm trying to do with these penalties is say, we can't stop you from doing these things, but if you do them, you have to understand you will pay the consequences." Baseball can be an intense game and on-field confrontations happen. However, the league disciplinary policy is to punish, sometimes severely, those who decide to settle things with their fists. When Ramón Lara of the Oregon Ducks and Walter Slagboom of the Arizona Wildcats got into a scuffle during a game, both players knew that a suspension would be forthcoming. Sure enough, today it was announced that both players will each receive a 4-game suspension for their actions in a recent game at Crunch Ballpark. So far this year in 46 games Lara is hitting .196 with 3 home runs, 17 RBIs and 17 runs scored. Checking out his stats for the year, Slagboom has racked up 2 wins and 3 losses in 13 starts, 6.17 ERA and struck out 53 batters in 58.1 innings. |
