Suspensions Galore

The Reds and Pirates received numerous suspensions for their Tuesday brawl. This one makes me happy:

Pittsburgh pitcher Keone Kela received the largest suspension of 10 games for “intentionally throwing a pitch in the area of the head of Derek Dietrich”, while Cincinnati pitcher Amir Garrett got an eight-game ban for initiating the brawl by charging the Pirates’ dugout from the mound.

I’m glad to see the length of suspensions for throwing at batters getting longer. I really think it should be closer to 30 games.
