Woodward, Gibaut suspended, Nicasio to restricted list

Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward has been suspended for a game, and pitcher Ian Gibaut had been suspended for three games, it was announced today. Gibaut threw behind Manny Machado yesterday one batter after Fernando Tatis, Jr., hit a grand slam on a 3-0 pitch from Juan Nicasio to give the San Diego Padres a 14-4 lead last night. Woodward said after the game that Tatis broke the unwritten rules by swinging 3-0 in a blow out, which has prompted the expected mockery from Baseball Twitter.
