Morales Given 2-Game Suspension
The <Washington Resonance:team#91> were hoping for a more lenient ruling from the league office, but they didn't get it. In yesterday's game at The Boom Box against the <Arizona Vipers:team#6>, Resonance second baseman <José Morales:player#8531> was ejected by the home plate umpire after he vociferously questioned a third-strike call.

The commissioner's office issued a 2-game suspension, saying the league would not tolerate a player behaving in that manner. The disgruntled Morales refused to leave the field and kicked dirt on the umpire's shoes. His manager tried to keep him away from the umpire and physically had to remove him to the dugout with the help of the two other coaches.

Reached for comment after getting the suspension notice, Morales said he was too disgusted to talk about it.

For the year <Morales:player#8531> is batting .256 with 3 home runs, 11 RBIs and 8 runs scored.
