League Gives Atkinson 3-Game Suspension Sunday, August 9th , 2026 The Los Angeles (DSL) Dodgers Robinson were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Atlanta (DSL) at Dodgers Robinson Grounds. One in particular -- Chris Atkinson. Upon being called out on strikes, the Dodgers Robinson third baseman 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 Atkinson 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 Atkinson 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 Atkinson for 3 games. This season, Atkinson is batting .314 with 27 hits, 11 home runs, 23 RBIs, .366 OBP and has scored 23 runs. |
