Bats 2B Rak Suspended 4 Games Monday, June 29th , 2026 The Louisville Bats were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Durham at Bulls Grounds. One in particular -- James Rak. Upon being called out on strikes, the Bats 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 Rak 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 Rak told reporters, "He was awful out there. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him." For his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Rak for 4 games. Rak on the season is hitting .299 with 2 home runs. His stats include 17 RBIs and 27 runs scored. |
