He's appealing. Boyd fined. Nothing for McCann hitting Sano in the face. Is Torre blind?

Thats cute. So throwing at somebody and starting a fight only draws a fine, but shoving a player gets you a game. Hmmmm...

 

I didn't realize Roger Goodell was commissioner of MLB too....

Well, I'd be darned if next time the Twins face Detroit, they don't throw behind Cabrera

I get being ejected, he was in an altercation, but the two people who picked the fight get nothing while the guy defending himself gets a suspension? That's BS.

yeah, I'd plunk him, first AB, then have Castro push him around.

He should appeal. If Sano has to sit for a game, so should McCann. The dynamite doesn't go off without someone lighting the fuse. It wasn't even that big of a deal, fire cracker is probably the better term. Sano might actually have some ground to stand on with this.

Heh. Stupid.

I'm just waiting to hear how long Tom Brady's suspension will be for this.

But yeah, it's awfully disproportionate that you can chuck a weapon at a guy and have your buddy shove him in the face for mildly reacting, and THAT guy is the one who gets suspended out of all that.

There shouldn't be ANY suspensions over this.

 

 

It was a heated moment where nothing really happened. No suspensions for anybody. Just get on with baseball already.

Agree. One game just seems pointless.

A suspension is too much for anybody involved in that altercation.  Sano yelled at Boyd and made a "threatening gesture" AKA pointed at him.  If McCann didn't get involved (I understand why McCann got in his way) Sano would have cooled off in about 2 more seconds, I doubt he was going to be charging the mound.  

 

I am fine with the ejections, but suspensions and fines for that is dumb in my opinion.

For me, it's not about being pointless, it's about being undeserved. If he deserves a suspension, then so do McCann and Boyd. If they don't, then neither does Sano. And, further, who called for that pitch and who executed it? That is more deserving, imo, than Sano defending himself.

 

That said, I concur with Chief and Brock. No one should get a suspension here.

Better word usage, but what I was thinking too.
