Appeals are heard within 48 hours. If he appeals, he’ll miss a potential game 7 or the first 2 games of that World Series. Per ESPN: The collective bargaining agreement states that hearings involving a suspension in the playoffs must be heard within 48 hours of a player deciding to appeal.
I was Amazed that Yordan made it through the entire Rangers team to handle Garcia. That's surprising and unusual.
I responded to this post. What's changed? Beyond MLB (assholes that they are) unfortunately agreeing AND doling out the suspension. For more clarity, my answer is still... YES.
It was already bullsht when he got taken out of the game. Now to lose him for two games b/c the league thinks he wanted to b petty and pelt garcia when they were down 2 runs? fking stupid
I guess he needs to wait until game time and appeal. We need our bullets for the rangers. The WS berth is definitely not promised. Imagine if he didn't appeal and we.... I am not going to say it.
You already fall flat on your very first point. I what world can you compare "earlier in the season" to down 2, runner on first, late in a pivotal Game 5 of the ALCS?
No, if it was earl april 2024, then I’d say it probably was. You dont do that given the situation. Unless Dusty was playing underwater 6D chess and knew how it would all play out.
So if Nathan hits Yordan or Altuve is he tossed? If they are making ASSumptions then that assumption has to be made as well. I think I miss the era when men were men. Not this panzy ass era now.
The same world where Maldonado has been confrontational against the same team. Look, I understand fans want to be homers and believe their team can do no wrong, but switch the jerseys, and everyone would be singing a different tune. People might still call it "stupid", but the "intentional" part would definitely be in play, 100%, without a doubt.
The logical fallacy of asserting that point as a fact with absolutely zero evidence is actually nothing more than cognitive bias.
