Jayhawks López Suffers 2-Game Suspension Tuesday, March 29th, 2022 The Kansas Jayhawks were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to North Carolina at Brutes Ballpark. One in particular -- José López. Upon being called out on strikes, the Jayhawks second baseman 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 López 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 López 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 López for 2 games. López is hitting .181 so far this season with 13 RBIs and 10 runs scored. He has 15 hits including 4 home runs, 7 walks and .239 OBP. |
