Suspensions annouced; DLee gets 5 games/Gerald Perry 3 games

[soccer10k]

I'm definitely happy Lee only got five games because I thought he would get a couple more.

He also hesitated to get back into the fight after Giles held back Young. Lee looked like he was waiting for his teammates to hold him back, or at least provide the necessary separation.

 

Definitely. He looks like he goes out of his way to go around someone and waste a few seconds after Giles grabs Young. He probably realized his mistake and just wanted it to end quickly. The fight could've ended there had Peavy not jumped on DLee's back right after.

To me, it looked like Lee was looking for someone to hold him back. I think he realized that he started something he wasn't really all that interested in finishing.

I'm not sure if Lee did mean to miss with his punches, but from seeing it a couple of times I do think that he was very conscious of what he was doing at times in order to minimize any actual damage he did do. At one point Lee was completely unrestrained and could have ran right into the Padres group and started to throw some punches but he ran sideways and got right behind Lou so he cold be restrained.

If he appeals is he guaranteed to have a max of five games.

I don't recall any instance in which an appeal upped the suspension.

Me either. It would be completely without precedent for MLB to up the suspension to retaliate for a player filing an appeal.

I've been thinking it's happened at least once, but I can't seem to find proof of that.
