5 games, so he doesn't even hit him and a nice suspension? basically MLB is saying you can hit the player anywhere else with no reprocussions, like Barry Zito to Prince Fielder...

Gotta love the double standard

Fair Punishment... He misses one start.

I say if you get ejected from a game for throwing at players, it's a suspension

[gladdyontherise]

Suspend him fine, but be consistent, Zito intentionally hit Fielder, and everyone knew it, 1 start suspension then, its ridiculously unfair, Lee didnt even hit him, he gave him a 'warning'

But it's also Spring Training... It's an exhibition game and you're throwing at hitters?

[gladdyontherise]

Exactally my only complaint is consistency, which the MLB wasnt.

[pistonsfan9826]

wow mlb, this deffinitly isnt right since he didnt hit him.

[Sports Collector]

Why are teams throwing at players AT SPRING TRAINING.

whatever, just doesn't make any sense

and MLB isn't being consistent either...which is also bad

[GoJets9096822]

Is it 5 games or 5 starts?

[gladdyontherise]

5 games, so 1 start

[GoJets9096822]

Thats such a joke...

[gladdyontherise]

So you want him to miss 1/6 of his season because the ball went over Snyders head?

[GoJets9096822]

5 games should=5 starts

[gladdyontherise]

Starting pitchers dont pitch everyday, so you'd take 1/6 of his season away for a ball going over the players head?

[GoJets9096822]

Why the hell didnt they just say 1 start instead of 5 games?

[gladdyontherise]

Its just assumed for pitchers 1 start is 5 games, since SPs play once every 5 days
