Shaw Suspended, Out 2 Games Monday, April 22nd, 2019 The Toledo Mud Hens were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Tacoma at Fifth Third Field. One in particular -- Chris Shaw. Upon being called out on strikes, the Mud Hens 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 Shaw 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 Shaw 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 Shaw for 2 games. So far this year Shaw has 1 home run and a .300 batting average. |
