Slippery slope of trying to prove intent, especially when a guy wasn't thrown out of the game
May 3, 20178 yr The thing with Sale is that he has no f***ing clue what he's looking at when it comes to handling a perceived problem. The Machado/Pedroia thing was over, but Betts just happened to get hit Monday, so Billy Badass has to throw behind Machado like the punk he is.

May 3, 20178 yr Just a prediction- Sale will get suspended without pay, but won't miss a start. But both teams are on notice. Enough is enough.
May 3, 20178 yr I think actually hitting him or something by the head should be a requirement for a suspension. Fine him all you want, but this was low and behind him.

He will get suspended but it will meaningless. It's a joke. They need to start taking throwing at hitters seriously, it's dangerous.

No suspension, but he should be on notice the next time he does it, immediate ejection and 2 week suspension.
May 4, 20178 yr Sale is only getting fined as of now, right? I'm selfishly hoping he misses his scheduled start in Minnesota so that I might be able to see him in person in Milwaukee.

I assume if he is getting suspended, he'd appeal it, pitch his next game, and then drop the appeal and serve it. Edited May 4, 20178 yr by soxfan2014

Yeah, unfortunately it doesn't look like the schedules will work out. I had been hoping he'd pitch in Milwaukee since the trade. I don't know when else I could see him in person anymore.
