Ja...MLB handed down suspensions in this incident. <br /><br />Jason Marquis-5 games<br />Esmerling Vasquez-3 games<br />Both are appealing.<br /><br />Kirk Gibson-1 game<br />Jim Riggleman-1 game<br />Neither are appealing.Jeremy Dirckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377576945075992373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-42114586100105681272011-06-06T09:23:37.097-07:002011-06-06T09:23:37.097-07:00I love the Nationals' idiot announcer.

But as soon as hit hitter gets hit, same score, then he's all fired up, wanting the hitter to go after the catcher.

The D-Backs were trying to even the score by hitting Werth on Sunday, the Nats didn't like it and hit Upton for a 4th time in the series.<br /><br />A guys gets hit 4 times in a series and the Nats try to play it off as if they aren't throwing at him on purpose. No one but Upton or Werth were hit until the Espinosa was hit to get the D-Backs guys tossed.<br /><br />Drake was 100% correct with his ejections here and the Nationals announcers are a joke, there is no way Marquis was not throwing at Upton here, a guy throwing a 1 hitter into the 6th has enough control to not miss the zone by 3 feet.<br /><br />Jasperstratbaseballmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886493303690478776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-36063477202517603152011-06-05T20:41:15.991-07:002011-06-05T20:41:15.991-07:00I thought there's no way the Nationals started...I thought there's no way the Nationals started should have been tossed.
