What is there to appeal? He clocked him

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Lol he has to know the appeal will fail.

 

[Pwnasaurus]

That suspension seems quite reasonable. I figured 10, then appealed down to 7 or 8.

But was it a suckerpunch.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Seems fair.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Sounds about right. I expected 10 just because it's a round number, but I think 8 is certainly reasonable for the crime.

I always get a chuckle when players appeal stuff like this, though.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

This is BS. Everyone saw what happened...it was Flair! Woooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Unspecified]

Batista should get a couple games as well.

 

[hockeykicker]

John gibbons got 3 games

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

John gibbons got 3 games

Good. Gives the Jays a better chance at winning some of those games.

 

[Rob Brown]

Just accept the punishment and move on. No reason to appeal this one.

 

[hockeykicker]

i think thats all the suspensions

 

[hockeykicker]

bautista in jays lineup tonight (could be an appeal too)

[hockeykicker]

so all we waiting on now is bautista

I find it a bit weird that Andrus would get suspended but not Pillar and Donaldson given the way they went crazy into the fray.

In other news:

 

[Eyedea]

Players always appeal suspensions and drop it when the schedule is favourable. He should serve it before that Mariners series though.

bautista's shirt should be the bwo there was never a blue nwo.

This. He should be happy he didn't get more...

Given the player in question, shouldn't be surprised he isn't just accepting his punsihment. All an appeal does is waste people's time and money.

I'd love to hear his case, guys have been given double digits for throwing punches.

guys have also gotten three games for getting in a full-on fight in a dugout.

if he doesn't drop the appeal i bet it goes down to six.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

That makes sense. Again, not really a big loss there.

Bush should have gotten a few as well but whatever.

Really? I wasn't aware. I was thinking of the Cubs catcher who hit Pierzinski getting 10, and another one they showed I don't recall the player, but he got 8.

Damn, 6-8 games for that? That's pretty good value for the perpetrator.
