I think throwing at a batter is a bitch move. Especially when its head high. I hope Joe Kelly gets a fine and suspension. 

Agree with the headshots, super dangerous.

I enjoyed watching Joe Kelly blow games against the Angels last season, and later in the playoffs. But he's now one of my heroes.

8 games??? 

Wtf. Stop protecting those c*nts.

[Sully151]

That’s like 1/7th of the remainder of the season. That’s insane. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Absolutely garbage move. I hope every single Dodger pitcher hits an Astro tonight... let's see them suspend them all.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Also Joe Kelly was just peacefully protesting systemic favoritism.

That's a 21 game regular season equivalent

No, Ken, it like an 8 game suspension 2/3rds of the way into the regular season. The amount of games that are left to play doesn't change how the suspension should reflect the severity of the offense.

That said, fuck Houston.  

And the Dodgers.

 

[Blarg]

And Ken Rosenthal.

The MLB defense of the Astros has been disgusting.

I hope the Astros team plane crashes.

[beatlesrule]

Way too harsh. I wouldn't have been surprised if he didn't get suspended at all. Dude didn't even hit anyone. This is Manfreds ruling right? Pathetic. He needs to resign. He is a terrible commissioner.

[Blarg]

There was a warning by the commissioner's office before Spring Training about harsh penalties for intentionally throwing at Astros players.

Which was ridiculed then as well.

[Blarg]

The entire investigative process and penalty was a joke. All subsequent decisions have been equally poor. 

[ScottT]

8 games is a lot.  I thought it'd be less.

There's no place in the game for crap like that.  Two wrongs.... or forty two wrongs in the case of the Astros.... don't cancel each other out.   MLB warned teams and players they'd face steep consequences. Good to see them follow through.  There are probably a couple pitchers out there that were on the fence about doing something similar.  This is a big deterrent. I love it.

[Brandon]

Moral of the story is if you are getting 8 games, then make it worth it and hit the dudes.

And Florida

[floplag]

if thats what set the Astros off... some trash talk... they should amplify that by about 100, and they might get close to what every other player in the league feels about what they did... then there is the fans. 
Those guys got of cheap for what will happen at Chavez Latrine.

Pick a side waffleboy. You’re all over the place in this thread. 

You have a reading comprehension problem.  Let me clear things up with bullet points....

• I hate what Joe Kelly did
• I think getting upset over "Nice swing, bitch" is pathetic.
• I don't think that's why they were upset. 
• I like what MLB did in response

[Brandon]

I see Kelly graduated from Corona High. I see where his actions stem from now.
