League Issues Rodríguez 3-Game Suspension Saturday, September 27th, 2025 The Northern Virginia Retrievers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Panama City at The Tank. One in particular -- Luis Rodríguez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Retrievers 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 Rodríguez 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 Rodríguez 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 Rodríguez for 3 games. This season Rodríguez has hit at a .196 clip with 9 RBIs, 1 home runs and 15 runs scored. |
