Providence's Woods Suspended for 4 Games Saturday, July 20th , 2024 The Providence Hex were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Ottawa at Ballpark of Providence. One in particular -- Jeremy Woods. Upon being called out on strikes, the Hex second baseman 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 Woods 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 Woods 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 Woods for 4 games. So far this season, Woods has 8 home runs and a .288 batting average. |
