I think suspending people for throwing at each other is as dumb as the NFL's enforcement of the roughing the quarterback penalty. <br /><br />Pretty soon every game is going to be a home run derby with a pitching machine and all the players are going to have to shake hands after every game.<br /><br />I will however give MLB credit for being consistent.

But I've never seen so many punishments doled out by MLB.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548707517391398364noreply@blogger.com
