Tigers CF Edgar Suspended 3 Games
Monday, July 11th , 2022
Detroit center fielder Lucas Edgar has been suspended for 3 games for an on-field tirade with an umpire that left Edgar standing in his socks. He was ejected from the Tigers-Kansas City game for disputing a strike call. Edgar let fly with a flurry of expletives, threw down his bat and hat, then went nose-to-nose with the umpire, bobbing his head and screaming. He turned to kick the dirt around home plate, ripped off his shoe and showed it to the umpire, then pulled back his sleeve and shoved his armpit toward the umpire's face. Edgar continued to argue, kicking off his other shoe. Another umpire stepped between them. After slamming the second shoe down, the irate player went over to the Tigers dugout, fished out a batting doughnut from a bag, then paired it with another to make a mock pair of eyeglasses before slamming both weights down.

The tour de farce ended after several minutes of confrontation. Edgar finally retrieved his bat, shouted a few more choice words and walked into the dugout. A bat boy retrieved his shoes and hat...and his eyeglasses, too.

Edgar did not return a message seeking comment today.

In his season totals Edgar has 9 home runs and a .289 batting average.
