2-Game Suspension for Reds Hilland
Saturday, June 14th , 2025
The Cincinnati (DSL) Reds were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Los Angeles (DSL) at Great American Ball Park. One in particular -- Bobby Hilland. Upon being called out on strikes, the Reds center 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 Hilland 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 Hilland 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 Hilland for 2 games.
