I think mlb did the right thing, the penalty was stiff but they can't allow it to get out of control and start a bean war.
Yeah what the Astros was bad and while other teams cheated too it seems like the Astros system was a lot more sophisticated and effective than other teams but they can't allow it to get out of hand.

Since Manfred handed down the edict that any future instances of electronic/video cheating would get harsh penalties, two teams have been busted: Houston and Boston. The rest is just rumors.
If Kelly had kept his cool on the mound, he'd have skated. He wasn't thrown out of the game, and he has a reputation for being wild anyway. I think the Astros players would be a lot more worried if they were getting plunked suspiciously often, but no one could prove anything--that could get into a team's head.

Well that’s no fun😂 And besides, I think it’s already in their head.
There’s no way he should be suspended for 8 games. He wasn’t even tossed. I don’t condone head hunting. Glad no one was injured. Maybe Kelly’s accuracy is better than we think, lol. Throwing behind the head is ugly but better than inside near the head. Stay away from the head. Allow players to police themselves, since no one else is.
