League Suspends Florida's Patino Tuesday, June 10th, 2025 The Florida Men were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Royse City at Psychos Ballpark. One in particular -- Gilberto Patino. Upon being called out on strikes, the Men catcher 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 Patino 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 Patino 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 Patino for 4 games. For the season Patino has hit .295 with 2 home runs and 15 RBIs. He has played in 31 games and scored 15 times. |
