Umpire Winters suspended by MLB

Baseball Betting Lines

09/26/2007 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Umpire Mike Winters has been suspended by Major League Baseball for the rest of the regular season for his involvement in a heated dispute with San Diego Padres outfielder Milton Bradley on Sunday.

Bradley was ejected by Winters in the eighth inning of the Padres' 7-3 loss to Colorado. The argument apparently began when Winters accused Bradley of tossing his bat at home plate umpire Brian Runge after being called out on strikes to end the fifth.

A fan in the seats down the first base line also yelled something at Winters, who then made a comment to Bradley that sent the volatile player in a rage.

Published reports indicated that Winters had used profanity aimed at Bradley.

First base coach Bobby Meacham tried to restrain Bradley before manager Bud Black also came running out. Bradley broke free of Meacham's hold, but Black nabbed him by the jersey and spun him around before Bradley collapsed and grabbed his right leg.

Bradley, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee and will need season-ending surgery, had to be helped off the field. Black was later ejected for arguing a check-swing call against Adrian Gonzalez.

Bradley later called Winters' actions, "the most unprofessional and most ridiculous thing I've ever seen."

Winters became a major league umpire in 1990 and worked the World Series in 2002 and 2006.
