Baltimore Orioles: MLB bowed to pressure on Chase Utley

As I’ve said previously, the situation involving Los Angeles Dodgers’ second baseman Chase Utley has nothing to do with the Baltimore Orioles. Or does it? No, not really – not directly, that is. At least not for now.

Incidentally, I’m talking about the act of suspending Utley for two games. Allegedly the league offered Utley a one-game suspension in the aftermath of Saturday night’s game, an offer he turned down. Keep that little factoid in the back of your pocket for a moment – we’ll pick it up later on.

Make no mistake about the fact that Utley was only suspended due to public pressure.
