I appreciate the clarification.
...Thanks Steve ... I appreciate the clarification.<br /><br />Did I mention I was not a baseball guy?<br /><br />I agree with you too about Giardi. I think his fine was reasonable and MLB was right to come down on him, as while I understand his actions, they can't be condoned.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br />PKAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411680916657152897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056005406217946469.post-43328986548780826532013-08-21T09:08:25.219-04:002013-08-21T09:08:25.219-04:00Hi Pete,
Loved this read but did want to point ...Hi Pete, <br /><br />Loved this read but did want to point out the suspension is 5 games not 5 days, even tho MLB teams will typically have 5 games in 5 days. I agree pitchers should miss a lot more during suspensions since they realyl do nothing (99% of the time) on their off days to help the team. I do have to say I am fine with Girardi getting the bigger fine. Sure Dempster was wrong for his actions and given that the 4th attempt his A-Rod I feel thats enough evidence to show intent hence his ejection would have be warranted. But does the wrong call by an offical give him the right to show that much disent? This was no simple discussion. He came out charging, arms flaring, screaming, follwing the umpire up the basepath post ejection etc. which MLB has a big push on as a "No No" and will not be tolerated.Stevenoreply@blogger.com
