Reacting to the MLB's actions following the Royals-White Sox brawl

Yordano Ventura and five others were handed suspensions today as a result of Thursday night's brawl.

A number of suspensions and fines were handed out today by Major League Baseball: seven games for Yordano Ventura; five games each for Chris Sale, Jeff Samardzija, and Edinson Volquez; and two games each for Lorenzo Cain and Kelvin Herrera. I was going to write a piece on the Kansas City Royals last night, but I'm glad I held off and got see the punishments first. This article isn't an attack on the Royals, their fans, or the majority of their players, as I've seen many react in a reasonable manner to the team's actions.
