Royals minor league reliever placed on suspended list
SPRINGDALE - Northwest Arkansas Naturals relief pitcher Jarod Plummer was arrested for driving while intoxicated and driving left of center by Fayetteville police early Wednesday morning.

According to the Fayetteville police report, both passengers "were not cooperative" and McFall became "very belligerent" and was threatened with arrest. Police called a taxi for McFall and Peterson and both left the scene without further incident. The report also stated that Plummer was cooperative and apologized to the arresting officers for McFall's and Peterson's behavior.

What do we do about this? Something has to be done especially to set the bar for the younger players on these teams. This is unexcusable. Driving intoxicated and letting your teammate do it? It wouldn’t hurt my feelings if these guys had a nice, long suspension and had to speak with a mother who lost her child to a drunk driver….
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.
WTF
It happens everyday. The real question is why doesn’t the team have a liason for these guys to call to pick them up. Every mechanic, waiter/waitress, stockbroker, etc in this country drinks after work. These guys need a taxi.
Every fight is a food fight when you’re a cannibal.
