Unfortunately baseball does not have a "team suffering" penalty as does basketball and football other then ejection.

Also, for the most part I think most organizations have an automatic one game suspension to try and clean-up the league.

If it's one of the "stud" players then the team will suffer, but if it's a marginal player then for the most part the team will not suffer.

It would be nice to get an extra out for a "personal foul" in baseball. I know us umpires wouldn't complain.
