Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts served his one-game suspension on Wednesday in the series finale against the Houston Astros for his involvement in the benches-clearing incident the night prior.
Joe Kelly was given an eight-game ban from Major League Baseball for throwing at a few Astros players, although he is appealing the ruling and has remained active each of the past two nights.
Kelly didn’t even any batters, so it was a bit strange that MLB came down on him so hard, especially since it is a shortened 60-game season to begin with. While Roberts didn’t have a problem with his own suspension, he did think eight games for Kelly was a bit much.
