Atlanta Braves Arrests and Suspensions

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Matthew Stockwell

It has not been a good week for the Atlanta Braves' public relations department. First, pitching coach Roger McDowell was accused of threatening a fan with a bat and shouting homophobic slurs at a game in San Francisco, in front of children. The Braves have now placed McDowell on administrative leave while they investigate.  McDowell offered a weak apology, claiming he was "deeply sorry for responding to the heckling fans in San Francisco." 
 
Also, pitcher Derek Lowe was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, after he was pulled over for allegedly racing another motor vehicle. Lowe failed a field sobriety test, but refused to take a breath test.  Lowe was also charged with reckless driving, and improper lane changing.
