Randolph banned 1 game, fined

Didn't see this topic posted. Randolph banned 1 game, fined

 

I don't really understand the 1-game suspension. Did he somehow come in contact with the homeplate umpire from the bench? (I missed the game. Did he come out of the dugout and get on the ump and bump him?)

If Randolph was suspended 1 game for last night, Manny Ramirez should be suspended the rest of the season for what he did last night.

 

Randolph was chirping from the dugout, along with the entire roster, the rest of the coaches and support staff.

I would hope the ump got the same treatment

Homer mentioned some kind of hand gesture during his show today. Didn't hear the specifics.

[brewmann04]

that a joke and the ump was one of the worst i seen in recent times

[Invader3K]

So, does the ump get punished at all? We should at least get to hear about what happens on that side.

Randolph left the dugout which is an automatic suspension.

Stepping out of the dugout while arguing: automatic suspension

 

Recklessly throwing equipment around like a tantrum-throwing two-year old: no punishment outside of an ejection

 

Makes perfect sense to me.

While the ump may have been horrible. His mustache was quite possibly the best I have seen in quite some time.

The ump saw the Cards staches and gave them the breaks. Very obvious really.

In all fairness to Manny the ump had it out for him. Both K calls on him were just aweful. One god aweful strike out call thats fine but two.... come on even if we did show you up after the first one.

 

Still [expletive deleted] that they suspended Willie for that.
