Major League Baseball has come down with a set of suspensions for the incident between the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Two players will be suspended – Yasiel Puig gets 2 games, and Chris Archer gets 5 games. Manager David Bell is also facing a 1-game suspension. Both Yasiel Puig and David Bell will begin to serve their suspensions tonight.
Brace yourself because I am about to go on a rant here. This is outright ridiculous. Chris Archer threw a baseball at someone on purpose out of anger. He is basically being fined a game check for 5 days, because the Pirates are just going to shuffle their rotation and he’ll start on the 6th day instead of the 5th day.
