Palmer Suspended by League Friday, April 24th , 2026 The Binghamton Mets were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Akron at Canal Park. One in particular -- Jay Palmer. Upon being called out on strikes, the Mets second 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 Palmer 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 Palmer 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 Palmer for 3 games. This season, Palmer is swinging the bat at a .378 pace. He has hit no home runs and scored 6 times, while driving in 3. His on-base percentage is .429 and he has played in 12 games. |
