Baseball's pitchers are doing what MLB itself didn't: exact punishment on the Astros for their 2017 sign-stealing scandal.
With two wayward pitches, Kelly penciled himself into Dodgers lore Tuesday night, taking decisive action against the Houston Astros. He fired pitches over the head of Alex Bregman and nearly into the teeth of Carlos Correa, setting off a bench-clearing, socially-distanced brawl. And for good measure, he taunted the protesting Astros with an aw, you poor babies scowl.
MLB fined the Astros $5 million and took away their top draft picks this year and next, and several executives and coaches are out of jobs. But there’s no asterisk on the Astros’ championship, and the players apparently most involved in the scandal have given off an attitude that’s indifferent at best, what-are-you-gonna-do-about-it at worst. And the eight games that Kelly got are eight more than any player was suspended for, you know, conspiring to undercut the integrity of an entire season.
The length of Kelly’s suspension is significant for several reasons. First, in a 60-game season, eight games is the equivalent of 22 games in a normal season. Plus, according to USA Today, suspensions for hitting batters over the past three seasons ranged from two to six games.
