López Given 3-Game Suspension Sunday, August 16th, 2026 The Alloway Halberds were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Houston at Houston Park. One in particular -- Jorge López. Upon being called out on strikes, the Halberds shortstop 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 3 games. For the season López is hitting .284, batted in 12 runs with 1 home run and 11 runs scored. |
