When is shane victorino suspended

That three-game suspension went to Shane Victorino from the Phillies, who many people believe played the biggest role in the fight. Victorino appeared to make the initial move to the mound and also tackled a Giants coach.

Victorino wasn't happy that he was the only one suspended, and I completely understand how he feels because there should have been multiple players from the Giants suspended as well. Eli Whiteside should have been suspended for his attempt to tackle Placido Polanco.

Rather than do his job and protect his pitcher, he left the umpires to do so while he went to go pick a fight with the first person he saw. If Victorino got three games, Whiteside should have gotten at least one, possibly two. Ask Charlie Manuel about this, and like any good manager, he'll defend his player no matter what.

America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. But, in an era with Nipple Gate, school shootings, bum fights and offensive rap lyrics, baseball and the other major sports have made a point of cracking down on anything that might be seen as controversial—especially physical altercations during games.

Which is to say, show up our pitcher by admiring your home run and the next batter is going to wear a fastball. Now, Major League Baseball royalty arbitrarily decides who is at fault and what penance they owe the crown.

If thou doth badmouth the umpires in a press conference, thou must forfeit 10 gold coins to the crown. If thou useth performance-enhancing drugs, thou must be removed from competition for seven fortnights. If thou doth wager coin on baseball, thou shall be sent from the kingdom in exile.

The Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants got into a bit of a tussle on Friday night, and unlike most baseball brawls, where players and coaches mill around on a field until the umpires tell them not to, this one featured a couple of people falling down.

Victorino was hit by a Ramon Ramirez pitch after the Phillies had opened up a large lead on the Giants, and the center fielder took a few steps out towards the mound. Giants catcher Eli Whiteside got in front of Victorino and started hopping around like a frog.

Placido Polaco then got too close to Whiteside hopping like a frog, and he'll probably think twice about doing that again.
