Walleye Rodríguez Suspended Wednesday, June 18th, 2031 The Walla Walla Walleye were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Gwinnett County at Pipers Ballpark. One in particular -- Andrés Rodríguez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Walleye 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 4 games. Rodríguez is hitting .270 this year with no home runs and 14 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .276, 1 walk and scored 6 times. |
