League Rules Pérez Out 3 Games Tuesday, August 14th, 2018 The Rocky Mountain Nuggets were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Athletic Club KC at Athletics Park. One in particular -- Alfredo Pérez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Nuggets 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 Pérez 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 Pérez 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 Pérez for 3 games. This season Pérez has hit at a .208 clip with 17 RBIs, 5 home runs and 16 runs scored. He has played in 43 games. |
