Major League Baseball suspended Rick Procello for six games for hitting Ben Zobrist. Good. I hope these suspensions keep getting longer before someone gets killed.

In Porcellos defense, Rodney threw a 100 mph fastball right at Miguel Cabrera’s chin, very close to hitting him in the head. Intentional? That’s hard to say. But, if there’s ever a case for retaliation, it’s when the opponent looks like the they’re head hunting the guy who is far and away your best player.
I have mixed feelings about that to be honest.
So long as pitchers don’t go for the head and are retaliating in defense of their own hitters I am ok with the status quo.
