Outside The Confines: Joe Kelly’s suspension creates shockwaves

If the first part of this week was dominated in discussion of the Marlins COVID outbreak, the latter part of the week was all about Joe Kelly and the suspension that came as a result of his on field antics against the Houston Astros.

Kelly received an eight-game suspension for throwing behind Alex Bregman and for making comments towards the Astros dugout. For many, this seemed like an unfair punishment as the Dodgers were probably the team most likely to take a little revenge on their 2017 World Series rivals (and noted cheaters) the Astros.
