LF Ríos Given 2-Game Suspension Wednesday, August 29th, 2018 The Port Royal Disaster were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Oceanside at Ballpark of Port Royal. One in particular -- Juan Ríos. Upon being called out on strikes, the Disaster left 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 Ríos 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 Ríos 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 Ríos for 2 games. Ríos's current batting average stands at .289 and he has chalked up 18 home runs and 65 RBIs. |
