Giants v Phillies last night
 

Lot of people from both sides will be taking time off and be lighter in the wallets when MLB sorts this all out.

Molina got five games for bumping an umpire four times and spitting on him twice. Doubtful anyone gets more than one game (after appeal) and a small fine after this.

Except the pitcher will get more because they don't play every day (so 5 days for a starter, maybe 2 for a reliever).

The only suspension was Victorino, 3 games.

...and that will likely be less as he's appealing.

Victorino suspended 3 games, 3 others fined - CBSSports.com

Big deal he got hit in the *** what's the problem? Why is he charging the mound? I'm showing my age but I'd give anything to see him charge the mound when Bob Gibson or Don Drysdale were pitching. Victorino would have got his *** kicked. Oh well different era when the players policed themselves.

Yeah, the good ole days when batters would take their bats out to the mound to "police" the situation. :rolleyes:

My naive child. Let me tell you a story. Back in the day when men played baseball the players policed themselves. You plunck my guy I plunck your guy now we're even and we play on. Rarely if ever did anyone charge the mound unless of course you went head hunting which rarely happened. Pitchers could even pitch inside without warnings being issued or players charging the mound. Batters didn't wear armor at the plate nor did they hang over the plate lest they get "brushed back". Hell Ron Santo spent his whole career on his butt because he got brushed back after Banks hit a homer. I never saw him him charge the mound. He would dust himself off get back in the box and they would play on.

+1 Gordon

How many times did you see a Mickey Mantle or Hank Aaron charging the mound? That's the difference in todays game.
