I can’t agree.  I watched that game live and watched all the pitches leading up to both the pitch to Bregman and the Correa strikeout.  I’m not convinced that he was throwing at them.  Kelly throws hard and is wild.  He had plenty of opportunities to plunk an Astro if that was his intention.

The Astros have a target for cheating.  Now if anyone comes inside they’ll get an equivalent to a 20+ game suspension?

I’m against using beanballs as revenge, it shouldn’t be part of the game.  But I also don’t like umps and the discipline folks try to interpret intent.  That’s when you get Gausman ejected for throwing a breaking ball.

I love that he gave them crap, but Kelly was all over the place.  Did the guys that throw at Machado on purpose get 8 games?

Also, the guidelines state that players can’t leave the dugout to fight/skirmish/whatever.  Any discipline there, or nah?

I would hope anyone who leaves the dugout is suspended
