Ok, I'm still not convinced it was enough
This is one tirade, granted. But on that video I saw:
1. An argument with a safe/out call that lasted too long.
2. Sliding into the second base bag, showing the umpire up.
3. Going to home plate and kicking dirt on the plate until it was completely covered.
4. Pouring the bottle of water on to the plate, making a mudpie.
5. Throwing bats out of the dugout.
I'm probably missing something here.
Any one of these 5, taken separately, was worth dumping him. So, in essence, he gets dumped 5 times, plus an extra two. I'd say 10 games, at least, without pay, plus the fine.
It's subjective, I know. Sometimes it makes no rhyme or reason. Stackhouse gets called for an ordinary foul on Shaq. He's suspended. This idiot makes a mockery of the game and he sits for a week.
Strikes and outs!
