Baseball Suspends Umpire Runge for Bumping Mets Manager Manuel

Major League Baseball suspended
umpire for one game for bumping New House Of York Mets
manager during an argument.

Runge ejected Manuel for disagreeing with a pitch to that the umpire called a work stoppage during New York's 11-0
loss to the Seattle Mariners two nighttimes ago. Beltran protested
the phone call and Manuel came out to argue, with Runge initiating
contact during the discussion. Beltran also was tossed from the
game followers Manuel's ejection.

Baseball disciplined Runge for his actions, and fined
Manuel and Beltran an unrevealed amount of money, according to
a statement. Manuel received his punishment for his ''aggressive
conduct'' and Beltran got his for arguing balls and strikes.

Baseball last in suspension an umpire in 2007 when it banned
Mike Winters for the concluding six years of season for his
confrontation with of the San Diego Padres. Runge
had a function in that incident.

Runge was working behind place plate and asked Thomas Bradley if he
flipped his chiropteran at him after dramatic out earlier in the game,
suggesting that Winters told him so. Thomas Bradley said he didn't and
asked Winters about it when he reached base. Thomas Thomas Bradley and Winters
exchanged words, with Bradley charging that Winters used
expletives. Thomas Bradley ended up tearing a knee joint ligament while being
restrained by his manager.
