Saw what he did and it was horrible. Should be at least a year suspension, if not a lifetime ban. You have no right to put your hands on an umpire.
I remember when he used to play for the giants. Never gave them trouble. He made a mistake, he'll pay the price for it , but dont give the guy a lifetime ban
umm that it...lol wow u yanks really do get shocked at anything these days huh
Yorvit has been suspended 66 games by the Venezuelan League for the incident which covers the rest of this year and all of next season for that league. There has been no ruling by MLB whether he will be suspended for their upcoming season.
This was the right call made. A baseball player has no right to assault an umpire, especially during a meaningless winter league baseball game. No idea what he was thinking.
wow some interesting posts. this is cool..
hit um harder might as well make it count YOUR OUTTA HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!
can we say buh bye to yorvit
no place for a azzz like that in baseball
I agree his is a piece of crap, I hope he is suspended from the MLB as well.
he should be the MLB presedent, hes the man
wow he needs to get long ass suspension
He did get a long suspension in the other league but it looks like he will be able to play opening day in the MLB which is wrong.Quote:

since it wasn't in a mlb league, torrealba is fine in the league he really cares about playing in.
I agree it is a travesty but the guy is getting 66 games and defamed in his own country the punishment is enough for now if he were a repeat offender maybe something major by mlb
