1. The stupidity of Major League Baseball "retaliation" bullsh-t never ceases to amaze. It's all just so stunningly dumb and dangerous.
On July 7, Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick took out Angles catcher Jonathon Lucroy with a controversial slide. Actually, it wasn't really a slide. Marisnick just threw his body into Lucroy, who ended up with a nasal fracture that is expected to sideline him for three weeks. MLB suspended Marisnick for two games. No one would argue if you belive Marisnick's slide was dirty. However, he was extremely remorseful and apologized to Lucroy.
But this isn't enough in the world of MLB.
