Thunder-Gothams Fight Nets 4-Game Suspensions Sunday, September 8th , 2024 The league commissioner announced that two players had been suspended for inappropriate conduct. He told BNN, "What I'm trying to do with these penalties is say, we can't stop you from doing these things, but if you do them, you have to understand you will pay the consequences." Baseball can be an intense game and on-field confrontations happen. However, the league disciplinary policy is to punish, sometimes severely, those who decide to settle things with their fists. When Jake Garcia of the Tampa Bay (R) Thunder and Alfredo Doval of the New York City (R) Gothams got into a scuffle during a game, both players knew that a suspension would be forthcoming. Sure enough, today it was announced that both players will each receive a 4-game suspension for their actions in a recent game at PBC Rookie Development Complex. This season, Garcia is batting .270 with 41 RBIs, 36 runs scored and 9 home runs. This season, Doval has logged no saves. He has thrown 54.1 innings, dished out 70 strikeouts and walked 35 while putting up a 1-0 mark and a 8.61 ERA. |
