Sáenz Misbehaves, Suspended 3 Games Monday, August 17th, 2020 The Hialeah Dodos were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Sioux Falls at Dodos Ballpark. One in particular -- Luis Sáenz. Upon being called out on strikes, the Dodos first 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 Sáenz 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 Sáenz 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 Sáenz for 3 games. This year Sáenz has hit at a .296 clip with 5 RBIs, 1 home run and 4 runs scored. |
