Okay, I finally got to see the other angle, from a 45 degree angle behind Manuel and facing Brian, and saw the bump. From the angle in the video I had previously watched, which was from straight behind Manuel, and made it look as if Manuel had stepped into Brian's path. Now that I have seen the full speed, true video of what happened, I do agree that Brian bumped Manuel intentionally. I think the one game suspension is plenty, however. No fines or levies or pay cuts. He shouldn't have done it, but I have seen much worse go unpunished, especially from players.

Manual and Beltran were FINED?? $500 and $400 respectively? Give me a friggin break, they make that much per minute. Looks to me like MLB threw Runge under the bus. Now don't get me wrong, I feel Brian didn't handle himself very well during this incident, but the punishments need to be fair.

Maybe Runge was suspended with pay!
