John Gibbons (Blue Jays manager): suspended 3 games, fined for returning to the field after ejection and inciting further fighting

Josh Donaldson (Blue Jays 3B): fined for aggressive actions
Kevin Pillar (Blue Jays OF): fined for aggressive actions
DeMarlo Hale (Blue Jays bench coach): fined, was acting manager when Jesse Chavez intentionally threw at Jose Bautista
most of those seem fair, only one that surprises me is Jose Bautista, I was figuring he would get 3 games for the illegal slide and inciting fighting.

so Kyle Hendricks is the guy in the rotation where we just refuse to do anything offensively when he pitches huh

also holy shit I remember Steve Buechele! Never thought I'd see/hear that name again.
 
Nice win for the Metropolitans and Thor was super as usual. I'm going to tomorrow's game and will pick up a jersey at the stadium. Not sure if I'll pick up a Conforto or Syndergaard one though. Hopefully Bartolo has a good game in him and the lineup is Campbell and Reynolds free. At least I'll get to see some Bart at bats. :)

Before the season I bought myself a syndergaard and my brother in law a conforto. Seemed like the best two options!
 
Supposedly, Fredi found out he was being fired when he received an automated email on Monday night 2 hours after the game about a commercial plane ticket to Atlanta on Tuesday at 3:00pm.
 
I wonder how Atkins reacts to this. We're now well into the season and the team is beset by a myriad of serious issues.

Will he do the AA and stand Pat?

Or will he attempt to cash in on one of the aging vets?
 
Every once in awhile the Royals actually look like the defending champs.

The problem is keeping it going.

Yeah but.
