Youkilis, Porcello suspended 5 games for brawl
Posted using ShareThis
NEW YORK -- Boston star Kevin Youkilis and Detroit pitcher Rick Porcello were suspended for five games each Wednesday and fined by Major League Baseball, a day after their brawl at Fenway Park.
Youkilis will begin his suspension during Wednesday night's game against Detroit. Porcello appealed, and no penalty will take effect until the process is complete.
"Basically, I left everything in the hands of the front office," Youkilis said. "Whatever they thought was best for the team was good for me."
Youkilis leads the Red Sox in getting hit by pitches this season with 10 and was tied for fourth in the AL entering Wednesday.
First of all, Youkilis violated baseball brawl etiquette by throwing his helmet at Porcello, the only thing that should be thrown at a defenseless pitcher is your fist..if you don't believe me ask Eric Young of baseball tonight. Second, and most importantly, if your gonna charge the pitcher make sure your the one that is taking down the pitcher and putting him on their back..I mean come on dude!, you rush Porcello like a bat at of hell and your the one that ends up on your back!...come on dude really???
