Ozzie Suspended 2 games and no Sox players punished

Featured Replies

At least no players were punished.

Couldn't have expected better.

Good news? We are going to be counting the innings for Ozzie's return is Cora is at the helm. Didn't he screw up a game last year when ozzie was suspended?

Of course, The suspended Royals will probably sit out vs. The Twins.

lol. so predictable.

 

Didn't he get suspended for the time when he ordered Tracey to hit somebody and he missed?

curious what the reason was to why Ozzie was suspended, was it his admission for 'protecting his players', or was it because he got into an arguement with the umpires?

These two games could help get Joey Cora a managerial job. He has long been considered a top candidate and now he has a chance to impress with two games.

Time to bring Buddy Bell to Chicago.

Isn't he going to be sending in the calls and making the lineup anyway?

He will also have a mullet and a fake beard and will be somewhere on the bench. I love Bobby Valentine for that moment.

 

And I believe according to MLB rules, a suspended or ejected manager is not allowed to take part in the baseball game. So I guess technically he is not allowed to make a lineup or make calls from the dugout.

That's Carlos.

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has been suspended for two games and fined an undisclosed amount for his aggressive actions during the incident, which included making contact with Umpire Tim Timmons, and for his comments following the game. Guillen will begin to serve his suspension tonight, when the White Sox host the Detroit Tigers.

It's funny, the umpire was the one making contact with him.

He even made a show of trying to back away from him.

The umpire pushed Guillen with a closed fist and spit in his face. After the game, the umpires apologized for the bad call on Carrasco which set Ozzie off in the first place. And yet Ozzie gets suspended two games?

 

MLB should start suspending umpires for bad calls and improper conduct, but MLB is a joke.

??? I didn't see this.

Yep. When the ump and Ozzie were nose to nose and the ump was jawing back at Ozzie, Oz flinched back and wiped his face as if he was hit with spit. It wasn't intentional of course, but neither was any contact Ozzie made with the ump.

 

And the ump was pushing Ozzie back with a closed fist at one point.

Ohh ok. I thought we were talking Robbie Alomar spit.

Ozzie's beef was justified. MLB is terrible with damage control. However, this could have turned out a lot worse.
