Matt Kemp has been suspended 4 games for a brawl with Yorvit Torrealba. However, he's going to appeal it.

That was one of the more bizarre fights I've ever seen.

 

Kemp swings at a ball in the dirt that the catcher just has to knock down. Kemp then dithers around the plate for a second before turning his back and slowly walking toward the dugout. Once the catcher gets the ball under control, he takes a step and tags Kemp out instead of throwing it down to first. Kemp then turns around and shoves the catcher. Fight ensues.

 

It certainly didn't look like the catcher said anything to Kemp. So I don't know what Kemp's problem was. Generally you don't deck the defender after he tags you out (excepting when it's A.J. Pierzynski, of course).
