2-Game Suspension for Hops Nakata Monday, September 5th , 2044 Shortly after yesterday's Hops-Dust Devils game ended, Yasuo Nakata's on-field tantrum seemed almost comical. In response to being ejected for questioning a called third strike, the Hillsboro catcher tossed his hat to the dirt and kicked it repeatedly. He couldn't help but laugh at himself and his over-the-top, hat-kicking, anger-laced tirade. "It was funny," Nakata said. "I was hoping I could kick it all the way to the dugout." The umpiring crew, however, didn't find it funny and neither did the league. Though Nakata said he did not think his actions warranted a suspension, he will miss 2 games. So far this year Nakata has 4 home runs and a .194 batting average. |
