Okada Punished?

Okada Punished?
I was at Koshien on Friday and, after a lengthy argument, Okada suddenly reared back and gave a giant push to the ump. I haven't heard anything about this in the news however. Anyone know if he was fined or will be suspended?

I know that the umps aren't usually protected enough here, but I was surprised to hear nothing about this matter yet.

Okada received a 100,000 yen fine and a severe warning. Par for the course.

Thanks for the update. Things haven't changed.

What did Pinella just get? 4-game suspension for more or less incidental contact? Amazing how little respect umps still command here.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
