Parker Given 3-Game Suspension Wednesday, April 30th , 2025 The Wilmington Blue Rocks were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Winston-Salem at Ballpark of Wilmington. One in particular -- Brandon Parker. Upon being called out on strikes, the Blue Rocks right fielder gave the ump quite an earful. For that, the man in blue gave him the thumb and sent him to an early shower. But the disgruntled Parker lingered on the field for another five minutes, berating the umpire. Finally his manager got him off the field and into the clubhouse. But it got worse after the game, when Parker told reporters, "He was awful out there. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him." For his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Parker for 3 games. So far this season, Parker has put up a .287 batting average with 23 hits, 5 home runs and 15 RBIs. |
