Pensacola CF Will Miss 3 Games, Suspended by League Thursday, September 15th , 2044 It was showtime at the Pensacola-Altoona game yesterday at People's Natural Gas Field. Pensacola center fielder Jason Pirkle was kicked out of the game for arguing a third strike and he took out his frustration on his hat, the umpires and the dirt, earning an ejection with the kind of theatrical argument that fans don't often see. "I didn't like the ump's explanation and told him so in no uncertain terms. I told him he missed it and he knew it. I wanted to kick something and I figured that was the best thing. Walls don't work too well, and water coolers are expensive," Pirkle said. "I don't have any concern. I don't think I did anything that warrants a suspension. So much for his opinion. The league office did not agree with him and suspended him for 3 games. This year Pirkle is hitting .156 with 10 hits, 1 home run, 5 RBIs and has scored 3 runs. |
