Around the league...
- A minor league baseball player got so mad at an umpire that he replaced him with a trash can in the middle of a tirade.
- Well this is an interesting development in the Luke Heimlich story.
According to the #CPBL official, the league have decided not to approve Luke Heimlich's contract.

The league also demand the #Lamigo Monkeys to terminate Heimlich's contract immediately.

- Apparently the Las Vegas Aces’ players decided to not show up because they had 25 hours of travel directly before the game and they were concerned about their health. This sounds like something the league schedulers need to address.
