Belugas Velásquez Suspended Saturday, June 23rd, 2029 The Brinkley Belugas were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Hialeah at Dodos Ballpark. One in particular -- Orlando Velásquez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Belugas third baseman 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 Velásquez 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 Velásquez 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 Velásquez for 4 games. Velásquez is hitting .237 this year with 1 home run and 4 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .328, 8 walks and scored 5 times. |
