All things considered, it’s been a pretty quiet week since the Astros returned home from their road trip. No on’e thrown at anyone or tried to start any fights. The biggest on-field development was the return of Yordan Alvarez to the lineup, who immediately launched a three-run bomb to announce his return.
But, of course, there was also the suspensions for the fight that came last week where Álex Cintrón got one of the heaviest suspensions ever doled out by the league for his part in the brawl. While I think the punishment was a little harsh, Cintrón was definitely the one who instigated the fight even if Laureano was the one who did the actual charging.
