| Re: Milton Bradley injured while restrained by coach Ump, responsible for the incident, is suspended by MLB: The Official Site of Major League Baseball: News: Major League Baseball News Quote:
Major League Baseball has suspended umpire Mike Winters for the remainder of the season, the Commissioner's Office announced on Wednesday.
The suspension evolved from an investigation of an eighth-inning incident during Sunday's Rockies-Padres game in San Diego in which Padres left fielder Milton Bradley was ejected for arguing with Winters. Winters was the first-base umpire that day.
According to Padres first-base coach Bobby Meacham, Winters instigated the incident by directing a profanity-laden accusation toward Bradley, which spearheaded the ensuing fracas.
"I can't tell you what he said because you couldn't print it," Padres manager Bud Black said at AT&T Park, where the Padres are playing the Giants. San Diego is hotly vying for a playoff spot. Asked if the statement was racial or profane, Black said: "Profane."
