MLB is going to continue to prove that it is one of the worst run professional leagues in the United States. In the wake of the Dodgers and Astros benches-clearing incident on Tuesday, Dave Roberts and Joe Kelly have been suspended.
Kelly received an eight games suspension for his part in throwing at Alex Bregman as well as taunting Carlos Correa. In a very short season, that amounts to the equivalent of a 22-game suspension for the Dodger’ reliever.
The eight-game suspension for Joe Kelly in a 60-game season is the equivalent of a 22-game suspension in a 162-game season.
