Nationals Bermúdez Suspended Monday, September 16th, 2030 The Ottawa Nationals were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Glendale at Heron Field. One in particular -- Tomás Bermúdez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Nationals 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 Bermúdez 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 Bermúdez 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 Bermúdez for 3 games. Bermúdez is hitting .246 this year with no home runs and 10 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .307, 15 walks and scored 18 times. |
