Pilots Gonzalez Suffers 2-Game Suspension Monday, August 17th , 2020 The Atlanta Pilots were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Philadelphia at The Hangar. One in particular -- Tony Gonzalez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Pilots left 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 Gonzalez 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 Gonzalez 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 Gonzalez for 2 games. So far this season, Gonzalez has gotten 4 hits in 21 at-bats for a .190 batting average with no home runs. His stats include 0 RBIs and 3 runs scored. He has played in 13 games. |
