Liga Mexicana de Beisbol Suspends Roberto Vizcarra Two Games; Alters Schedule For New Stadium Opening In Oaxaca

Guerreros de Oaxaca manager Roberto Vizcarra was suspended for two games after being ejected from Wednesday night’s game against the Bravos de Leon.

In the sixth inning, with Mel Rojas Jr. at the plate, the Guerreros trailing 9-7 and runners on first and second with two outs, Rojas took a 2-2 fastball on the inside corner that was called strike three by home plate umpire Marco Garibay. Rojas tapped his helmet, indicating a request for an ABS Challenge System review, but was denied by Garibay. That brought Vizcarra out of the dugout to argue Garibay’s decision, and Garibay promptly ejected Vizcarra.

Based on the League’s regulations, the analysis of the game videos and in accordance with the umpires’ report, he is sanctioned with a two-game suspension starting on Thursday, April 23, and is fined,” the league said in a Spanish-language press release announcing the suspension. “LMB Banorte promotes respect among all those involved in the game, rejects all types of unsportsmanlike conduct, and seeks to maintain the image of a family-friendly spectacle.”

League Juggles Oaxaca’s Schedule for New Stadium Opening – Construction delays at the Estadio Yu’Va in Oaxaca, the new home of the Guerreros, have pushed the club’s home opener back to Friday, May 22, the first game of a series against the Conspiradores de Querétaro.

Because of the construction delays, several home series scheduled for Oaxaca have been moved elsewhere.

The April 24-26 in Oaxaca between the Olmecas de Tabasco and the Guerreros de Oaxaca will be played at Estadio Domingo Santana, in León, Guanajuato, with all games starting at 4 p.m. local time. The series will be closed to fans.

The series originally scheduled for April 28-30 in Oaxaca between the Pericos de Puebla and the Guerreros will be played at the Estadio Hermanos Serdán in Angelópolis, the Pericos’ home park.

The series scheduled for May 8-10 in Oaxaca between the Piratas de Campeche and Oaxaca will now be played at the Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú in Mexico City.

The series scheduled to be played May 12-14 in Oaxaca between El Aguila de Veracruz and Oaxaca will be played at Estadio Beto Ávila in Veracruz.

The series is scheduled to be played June 23-25 in Puebla between Oaxaca and the Pericos de Puebla and will be played at Estadio Yu’Va in Oaxaca.

The series that was scheduled to be played July 7-9 in Veracruz between Oaxaca and El Aguila de Veracruz will be played at Estadio Yu’Va in Oaxaca.

In total, the Guerreros will play six home games at alternate venues and swap home and road venues for six others.
