League Gives Betances 2-Game Suspension Sunday, June 8th , 2025 The Columbus Clippers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Nashville at Clippers Park. One in particular -- Joe Betances. Upon being called out on strikes, the Clippers shortstop 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 Betances 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 Betances 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 Betances for 2 games. This season, Betances is batting .234 with 9 RBIs, 17 runs scored and 2 home runs. |
