A's & Astros brawl should be interesting for the ramifications. I'd imagine Laureano gets a hefty suspension?

I guess the Astros hitting coach said something that set off Laureano?
Astros should have their season cancelled.
Anything less than 10 games for Lareano after any appeal indicates MLB is not serious.

I don't think he will get more than Kelly who threw at 3 straight hitters heads, especially since he is a portion player. I would guess 6-8 games.
Although I could see MLB making a statement on this season that is on the brink of cancellation and lowers the hammer on him.

Are you kidding here? Guy got hit three times in 2 days. A’s get hit 5 times while Astros none. Guy goes to his base while jokingly telling him how to throw a curve and the Astro hitting coach is yelling at him and when he turns around to look at the hitting coach, the coach steps out of the dugout and walks a couple of feet still jawing at him and goading him to come over until he says ok and then hides behind 2 players. He’s going to get 10 for that? He should maybe get 1. The coach should get the 10.

Madison Bumgarner is headed back to Arizona to be re-evaluated for his back pain, #Dbacks manager Torey Lovullo said.
Weird but interesting interpretation. I think Laureano should get 20 days. No matter what else occurred, he started the fight. I think the coach should also get about 10. His actions put the whole Covid prevention plan for MLB in jeopardy.
I do agree MLB will do the standard 5 day suspension which will show they are not serious.

MLB needs to come down on Zach Plesac hard and suspend him for 10 games. A player going out and partying with the general public is way riskier than any on field fight with players that are already constantly tested. It's literally how the Cardinals and Marlins got in their mess.
I wouldn't even put it past the CheatStros to target Laureano by hitting him in an attempt to get him suspended. The guy is a stud CF with a 1.2 WAR already this year.

Veteran Charlie Morton of the #Rays becomes the latest pitcher to go on the injured list with inflammation in his right shoulder.
The rash of seemingly serious pitcher injuries is freaking me out. Wrap Gray, Castillo, and Bauer in bubble wrap please.
