2-Game Suspension for Basabe Saturday, July 4th, 2020 The San Antonio Missions were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Reading at FirstEnergy Stadium. One in particular -- Osleivis Basabe. Upon being called out on strikes, the Missions second 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 Basabe 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 Basabe 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 Basabe for 2 games. Basabe is presently batting .208 with no home runs, 1 runs scored and 0 RBIs. His OBP is .269. |
