Someone Nudge Selig to See if He is Awake
Barrett drills Pierzynski in the jaw for no reason almost a week ago, and MLB still hasn’t done anything about it. Hey Bud, how about a suspension over here? Seriously, I know AJ has a reputation for getting under the skin of the opposition–and occasionally that of his teammates as well–but that was a clean play and Barrett threw that punch for absolutely no reason. He has got to go.
30 game suspension. At least. Hey, if Bud isn’t going to rule, I’ll do it.
*update*
Right on cue, MLB weighs in with a 10-game suspension. Gutless. It is exactly what I was expecting though, as Bud set a precedent earlier this season with a 10-gamer for Julian Tavarez after he sucker punched Joey Gathright.
Before anyone out there corrects me, I know that it is technically Bob Watson that hands down the discipline for MLB. But the buck stops with Bud, and he could step in if he had the stones.
