Cincinnati Reds: Yasiel Puig’s suspension is excessive

We all saw it coming from a mile away. As soon as Yasiel Puig reinserted himself into the fracas during the Cincinnati Reds‘ dustup with the Pittsburgh Pirates, we all knew he was going to receive a suspension. But two games is excessive.

David Bell will miss tonight’s game against the Miami Marlins as will Yasiel Puig. Puig will also miss Wednesday’s game. He will not appeal. Chris Archer received a five-game suspension, which we all know equates to one game because he’s a starting pitcher. Archer plans to appeal his suspension.
