Odor suspended for 8 games

[HERPDERP]

Gibbons got 3 games.

 

Um, Farrell didn't get suspended last week, what gives? Did Gibby throw punches?

[THANOS]

Rosenthal says Gibby will get 3 games and there will be more suspensions. He says he expects Bautista to get a suspension as well (WTF How?).

Farrell came back out after he was ejected?

3 games for Gibby? Excellent Smithers....this could be the start of a new roll for the Jays.

He ran back on the field after already being ejected, which is definitely against the rules. Not sure about the 3 games part though

[Stangstag]

Farrell came back out after he was ejected?

 

Yes. Ortiz incident at Yankees stadium last week

Maybe the BP will be used appropriately, long enough to gain a confidence streak ?

He came back on the field after an ejection, that's like an auto suspension. Then Chavez' first pitch was an intent to hit Fielder, Gibbons probably has to take the blame for that even if it was called by a player or Chavez himself and even though Chavez will get his own suspension.

[intrigid]

Josebag gets nothing? More than 1 game is too much? He gets less because he got clocked? Do you think he wasn't gonna throw?

 

Brilliant. All victims should get the same punishment as their assailants because, let's be real here, you have to assume they were gonna try to get even anyway.

Yes I know, but Farrell did the same thing last week. And all he got was a fine.

Did his pitcher bean the next player on the next pitch?

When did he say this? I don't see it on his Twitter? (Bautista)

[Stangstag]

If Bautista gets more than 1-2 games, MLB better explain themselves

[HERPDERP]

1.) Just cause a purpose pitch happened doesn't mean it came from the manager

 

2.) Gibby wasn't the acting manager at the time.

He said it on the MLB Network during the Rundown.

1) Probably 9/10 come from the manager or dugout

2) He was on the field < 2min earlier

3) Don't really care about him anyway

Bautista should be given nothing if for any other reason to show that if you don't fight back you won't get suspended. A suspension for Bautista sends the message that throwing haymakers is your best option because you are going to get suspended no matter what.

 

I'm a little surprised at the 8 games for Odor because there were a lot of aggravating factors. He tried starting s*** two weeks ago, he's caused brawls in the minors, he threw low trying to hit Bautista, he pushed, punched, etc. at multiple players, and he made incendiary comments about the whole incident.

 

Bautista is the exact opposite. He was beaned, thrown at by Odor, pushed, punched and aggressively bear-hugged the entire time and he didn't do anything other than make a slide that only violated the new rule (but he didn't even make contact). Those are all mitigating factors that should make whatever suspension he gets a game or less.

[Spanky99]

after appeal, 6-7 games only

 

I doubt it.

[Nabru]

So criminal charges for Chapman & Reyes were dropped yet the MLB suspends both for roughly 30 & 60 games, respectively. Odor throws a haymaker at work to someone's jaw and gets 8 games. Colour me confused.

[Spanky99]

watch it close, it's not a reactionary slide. he knew exactly what he was doing the minute he took off. he wasn't going in standing up,

 

Who the f*** goes in standing up???

Beating up on women bro, domestic violence isnt even close to comparable to a heated tussle on the field

[CultofShatkins]

MLB:

 

"8 games for Odor because, like, we have to as the whole sporting world has seen the video. Sorry."

 

*whispers* "Odor buddy, appeal and it will be much less."

 

"Gibbons 3 games because your dumn. Oh and some s*** happened in the game the other day."

 

"Chavez 3 games because you lost a perfectly good baseball in Fielder's ass. Plus you're one ugly motherf***er."

 

"Bautista 3 games because your jaw hurt Odors hand. Oh and everyone else in baseball hates you, so tough s***."

 

"Donaldson and Pillar 2 games each because f*** you Toronto."

 

"Texas also has to pay a fine of $10 for the coffees the committee drank while reviewing this case. That will rise to $12 with state taxes because we're not based in Florida."

Charges were dropped?

Rumors around twitter have Jose getting 5 games. Fair enough. For those saying he shouldn't have gotten suspended give me a break. He started a fight. Just because hes bad at fighting and got knocked into next week doesn't mean he wasn't at fault. Just a heads up in America if you come at somebody aggressive like that you better be ready to fight. Its go time.

[SAAviour]

Gibbons should get 1 game for coming on the field, Hale should get one game for Chavez hitting Fielder.

But as someone above said, who cares about Gibbie's suspension!

Shapiro said he evaluates after 40 games, Gibbons era might be coming to an end...

[Hal Johnson]

its not about hate prior. do I like him as a player? no. do I respect him as a player? yes. he has great skills. but to constantly defend him when he is wrong, don't cut it. in this specific case, he was totally intending on hurting him. these guys are pros, you got dinged, it's over. you want respect give respect. my question is, and be objective, do you think he was going to throw a punch? I think he was. Would odor get 8 games if he missed with his punch? not likely. I'm not saying odor should get less, I am saying it took 2 to tango here, he is not totally innocent. that's all I am saying.

 

How about just not taking violent action simply because your feelings were hurt over a man celebrating literally the greatest moment of his career? How about that?

This is why the rest of the world laughs at the United States.

Yeah, defending ones self is so funny. So what are you planning to do if somebody comes at you aggressively?

That is absolutely ridiculous if true. Also, Bautista is an American/Dominican you dumbass.
