Buchanan Suspended, Out 4 Games Tuesday, June 22nd , 2010 The Las Vegas Rollers were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Winnipeg at Rollers Grove. One in particular -- Dan Buchanan. Upon being called out on strikes, the Rollers shortstop 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 Buchanan 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 Buchanan 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 Buchanan for 4 games. So far this season Buchanan has gotten 21 hits in 68 at-bats for a .309 batting average with no home runs. His stats include 11 RBIs and 7 runs scored. He has played in 38 games. |
