La Russa upset Cards' Thompson suspended
Posted using ShareThis
PITTSBURGH -- St. Louis right-hander Brad Thompson will appeal a three-game suspension for pitching inside to the Mets' David Wright, a punishment Cardinals manager Tony La Russa called unfair.
Thompson was not ejected after a pitch rode up and in to Wright during New York's 9-0 victory on Wednesday, after the Cardinals' Albert Pujols and Ryan Ludwick were hit with pitches by Nelson Figueroa. Thompson was not ejected.
La Russa said Friday that Thompson was "very harshly treated, unfairly."
I gotta go with La Russa on this one, I mean it's kinda unfair specially since Mota got away with just a slap on the wrist. Hopefully the appeal goes his way.
