Victor Robles gets hit for the 5th game in a row, throws bat at pitcher (not kidding)

I still don't get why Estes wasn't ejected. He should have been issued a warning before the game given the history.

The ump must be a relative of Donn and don't think it was intentional.

He would have to be a relative. That's the only possible explanation.

Contreras got 6 games for tossing bat towards ump, you would think Robles shouldn’t get more then that

The Rainier pitcher that throws the hardest should have walked to the first base line and then drilled him while he stood on the mound! But that would require having a team of guys with balls and not Nancy Boys that watch their team mate get drilled five times in a series and don't do jack shit about it.

Fuck suspensions. This stuff is supposed to be policed by the players. I guess teams that make the playoffs once in two and a half decades don't handle things that way?

Have we heard when the appeal will be heard?

seems pretty simple to me, because nobody was intentionally throwing at him, take a look, that's intent, ok

Check this out....

President of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto spoke to members of the media, including Adam Jude of the Seattle Times, noting that the club tentatively planned to reinstate Robles from the IL next week but those plans may change with the suspension. Divish suggests that perhaps the best plan is to reinstate Robles on September 1st, so that the M’s can at least play with a 27-man roster, though that would push his reinstatement into the middle of September. Reinstating him earlier would mean playing with a 25-man roster for a while, though that would also mean Robles would be able to be reinstated for more games.

It’s also unclear how long the appeals process will take. Sometimes, players appealing a suspension will hang in limbo until their team goes to New York, where the MLB head offices are located. The M’s don’t play in New York again this year, so it’s not clear when the appeal would be scheduled for. Robles being in the minors could also complicate factors. The M’s would surely love for the appeal to drag out into the winter and for Robles to serve his suspension next year, since they are currently in a playoff race, though MLB presumably wouldn’t let it play out like that.

That is really dated info and no longer remotely relevant. The suspension was reduced to 7 games and he begins serving his suspension tonight. We will only have a 25 man roster for this weekend then 27 on the 1st when rosters expand then 28 when he is reinstated next week.

I'm just now realizing they changed September call ups. Used to be able to add 10 guys. This should be more fair so you don't go play a team full of prospects.
