Andrade Misbehaves, Suspended 2 Games Sunday, July 18th , 2021 The Houston Apollos were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Yuma at Yuma Grounds. One in particular -- Eric Andrade. Upon being called out on strikes, the Apollos third 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 Andrade 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 Andrade 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 Andrade for 2 games. This season, Andrade has hit at a .309 clip with 53 RBIs, 13 home runs and 54 runs scored. |
