Mead Suspended by League Wednesday, July 24th , 2019 The Oil City Oilers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Fort Wayne at The Oil Field. One in particular -- Brad Mead. Upon being called out on strikes, the Oilers right 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 Mead 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 Mead 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 Mead for 2 games. Hitting .258 to date, Mead has 4 home runs and 11 RBIs. He has played in 44 games. |
