Abner suspended for 1 game

I'm actually fine with this. That was bush league by Abner. Embarrassing to the team & MLB. Sitting for a game seems like a nice lesson/ attention getter.

(I recognize that some will see this stance as an old man yelling to get off my lawn.)

I think the suspension is pretty insane. I did not like what Uribe did but PCA only got fined for telling a female fan "suck my ******* dick *****" and Uribe is getting a suspension for gesturing at an opposing dugout? That feels like an insane standard to set. A fine seemed entirely reasonable to me.

The take home from that should be PCA deserved more

PCA should've been sitting for 5 plus games for his actions. I agree that MLB should be more consistent on punishment.

Yep. IMO Uribe getting one game is fine. But don't let Crow-Armstrong go untouched.

So Abner makes an inappropriate gesture and gets a game, PCA literally speaks the same gesture to an actual fan and gets nothing? 

Burn him for 2 innings tonight where he wouldn’t go tomorrow anyway and then drop the appeal.
