Dockhands Árias Suffers 4-Game Suspension Sunday, July 10th , 2039 Portsmouth Dockhands catcher Ismael Árias received a 4-game suspension from the league office after he was ejected from a game with the Govan Shipbuilders recently. "I knew I probably was going to be suspended," said Árias. "We just didn't know how many games. I ain't really surprised about the suspension. What I did was wrong. You never get into it with an umpire like that. Something bad is going to happen, probably a suspension. I just hate it had to come to that." Árias was ejected when he complained bitterly about a called third strike. Árias was called out by the home plate umpire. He immediately spun around and stared at the ump and then used both hands to throw his helmet to the ground. At that point, Árias was ejected. By that time his third base coach and manager had gotten between the pair. Then Árias climbed on the back of his coach trying to reach the umpire. After tussling with him, both men got the irate player calmed down and under control and got him to go back to the dugout and to leave the premises. This year Árias is batting .169 with 5 home runs and 17 RBIs. |
