specifically for starting pitchers...

suspending hamels for 5 games :childplease:

that barely even affects the rotation, hes just going to start a day after than he normally would :yeshrug:

7 games should be the minimum suspension for a starting pitcher, so it at least causes the team to shuffle the rotation a bit..and actually damages the team.

these 5 game suspensions sound good on the surface, but in reality they dont mean shyt

For starting pitchers it should be their amount of starts...the average player plays every day, so that 5 game suspension is gonna be 5 games he dont play. Starting pitchers should get handed down a 5 start suspension if need be

a start for a pitcher is pretty much equivalent to 5 starts for a player. why on earth would they suspend a pitcher for 5 starts, which is about a sixth of their season? you wanna see players getting 25 game suspensions for charging the mound or some dumb shyt?

this is why i suggest 7 games. seems arbitrary, but linking it directly to starts is a bit much for the petty stuff that still requires disciplinary action from the league office

at the very least they should make sure his turn to start has to be skipped. pushing back his start a day is pretty lame
