I mean SP always get punished longer. A 4 game or less suspension for a SP doesn’t even cause a missed start. It has no real impact on the pitching staff either.So the guy who charged the mound got a shorter penalty than the guy who defended himself. Good move MLB… if you want to destroy all trust in the system.
Soler being suspended for 4 games is a much more severe penalty than Lopez being suspended for 5. Not only will Soler be out of the lineup for 4 games the Angels will also be down a usable player for 4 games as well.
Lopez just had to get his normal start bumped back a day.
