Good. Correa should have crippled him with the bat when he came to cover the plate. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 17:02
he'll appeal and get 5; so 1 start...still bullshit though -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 16:01 1
- He's not a starter. He's a reliever. He will miss many appearances. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 16:02
My thinking behind this is they need to in order to prevent it happening 20 more times this year. - Strongbad Jul 29, 15:48 9
- 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
  - The logic behind not punishing the Astros is the only way they found out about it is immunity for the players? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 15:56 6
    - That's the line from Manfred which is absurd -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 16:00 5
      - We're too incompetent to actually prove it ourselves. If you plead guilty, we'll brush it under the rug. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 16:05 1
        
        Pretty much exactly what happened. It gave MLB an easy out to not suspend an entire team and players on other teams. - Krusty Jul 29, 16:42
      - "We'll give you immunity if you confirm the story, so we can basically do nothing about it anyway" - Guigue Jul 29, 16:03 2
        
        Yes. And the NCAA has told us it's okay to cheat as long as you offer faux degrees to the entire student body, not just athletes. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 16:22
        
        Yup. The integrity of the game is suspect -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 16:06
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
    - just awful -- nm - Jovian Jul 29, 15:07
