RF Clendennon Receives 3-Game Suspension Friday, August 8th , 2025 The Lansing Lugnuts were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Bowling Green at Cooley Law School Stadium. One in particular -- Toby Clendennon. Upon being called out on strikes, the Lugnuts 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 Clendennon 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 Clendennon 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 Clendennon for 3 games. This season, Clendennon is hitting .265 with 104 hits, 16 home runs, 73 RBIs, scored 58 runs and played in 102 games. |
