Rodney suspended

Per wiretap, what BS.

It was such a friggin' non-issue, its ridiculous. Youkhilis gets 5 games for charging a pitcher, throwing equipment, and starting a ruckus. Rodney gets 3 games for tossing a ball into the stands. :roll:

Tigers officials have claimed that Rodney will appeal the suspension. Tigers have mentioned a past incident of the same nature of a tigers pitcher tossing a ball into the stands and not being suspended for it.

Yeah, it's a BS decision. Appealing the decision couldn't possibly move the suspension to the playoffs, could it? In any case, I wonder if it wouldn't be better to just give Rodney a 3 game rest now as opposed to when they are playing in more important games. I would've just sat him out the Royals series.
Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.
