Although Major League Baseball's health and safety guidelines state that suspensions for fighting wouldn't be pro-rated to reflect a 60-game season, it's nonetheless telling how much discipline Ramón Laureano and Alex Cintrón faced for their roles in Sunday's brawl at the Oakland Coliseum.
The A's outfielder was suspended for a tenth of the season (six games), while the Houston Astros hitting coach was suspended for a third of it (20 games). Laureano alleged that Cintrón insulted his mother -- which Cintrón later denied -- before he charged into Houston's dugout after he was hit by a pitch for the second time in the game (and the third time in the series).
