  - There's no one to boo them at stadiums, someone has to pick up the slack -- nm - Guigue Jul 29, 15:54
  - I understand why but the point is that they can come out with a strong punishment for throwing at them but nothing for the players that - Krusty Jul 29, 15:53 7

- that's bs. -- nm - Diva Jul 29, 15:28
- They’re making an example of him like they said they would. I don’t agree with it at all but they are following through on bad decisions. -- nm - spamlet Jul 29, 15:09
- The implication is that Houston batters are being targeted? -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 15:08 2
  - Yes and they will be all "season" -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 15:30 1
    - as they should be. -- nm - Jovian Jul 29, 15:32
- That's the equivalent to 22 games in a normal 162 game season. -- (link*) - Krusty Jul 29, 15:00 3
  - absolutely absurd -- nm - Jovian Jul 29, 15:03 2
    - Manfred is awful at his job -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 15:04 1
