League Takes Action, Melendez Suspended Sunday, September 8th , 2047 Jose Melendez didn't like the strike call, turned around and had some angry words with the home plate umpire. Apparently he went too far. The result is a 4-game suspension by the league office. The league cited his failure to leave the dugout after the ejection was the reason for the suspension. The Atlanta (MID) center fielder was ejected in a game at Municipal Stadium against the Hagerstown Suns following a controversial third-strike call. Thus far this year Melendez is batting .299 with 10 home runs, 47 RBIs and 79 runs scored. |
