League Rules Love Out 3 Games Monday, July 6th , 2026 The St. Louis Cardinals were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Toronto at Rogers Centre. One in particular -- Corey Love. Upon being called out on strikes, the Cardinals first 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 Love 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 Love 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 Love for 3 games. For the year, Love is hitting .252 with 7 home runs. His stats include 20 runs batted in and 20 runs scored. |
