On July 8th, Jake Marisnick made a split-second decision. The tape has been reviewed, broken down, and debated to death. Whether you think it was intentional or not, hard facts are Astros‘ Marisnick made an ugly collision with Angels catcher Jonathan Lucroy.
Yadier Molina was big mad about it.
Since that day, Marisnick has been upfront, truthful and remorseful of his actions. Joe Torre, MLB’s Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations, deemed Marisnick’s slide unintentional but still delivered a two-game suspension to Marisnick.
You would think that would be the end of it.
