Bulls Rodríguez Suspended Wednesday, July 5th, 2034 The Belleville Bulls were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Idaho Falls at Idaho Falls Park. One in particular -- Juan Rodríguez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Bulls 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 .304 this year with 1 home run and 13 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .333, 4 walks and scored 7 times. |
