League Suspends Segura
Sunday, September 7th, 2127
The suspension of second baseman Jacques Segura did not sit well with the Puerto Rico Coqui. Both Segura and his manager were livid at what both say is an unjustified 4-game suspension issued today by league officials. Segura was suspended for "inappropriate conduct" during a game against the Northwest Emeralds yesterday at Ballpark at Puget Sound.
Segura was ejected from the game for arguing a strike call. "It's not right," he said, adding, "I didn't do anything to deserve this. Eject me, but don't suspend me."
His manager also vented his displeasure. "Arguments go on all the time, face-to-face, and there's not a suspension. To be suspended is ridiculous. That's bull."
Segura did more than just argue the call, he threw his bat at the feet of the umpire and walked off the field. That is the main reason the league suspended him.
Segura is currently hitting at a .259 pace with 5 home runs, 45 RBIs and has scored 41 times.
