Listen we all know that Utley did not mean to cause as much damage as he did.
My hats off to Torre for making it clear this is unacceptable.
I think it is actually a pussy move by MLB and I doubt Torre pulled the trigger on this. I think it came from higher up the food chain. the way the rules are written there should be no suspension...if you don't like the rule try to get changed. The appeal will be interesting.
It wouldn't surprise me if Alderson was the one to make this decision, that it was done fairly quickly, and that was the argument him and Torre were having at the game.
