Jeanmar Gomez suspended-djkfmvf0419
Cleveland pitcher Jeanmar Gomez has been suspended for five games and fined by Major League Baseball, which concluded he intentionally threw at the Royals’ Mike Moustakas last weekend. Indians Jersey
Gomez and Cleveland manager Manny Acta said Wednesday that Gomez will appeal the suspension. Bob Feller Jersey
Gomez hit Moustakas in the third inning of Cleveland’s 11-9, 10-inning win at Kansas City on Saturday, causing benches to clear for the second time. Kansas City’s Jonathan Sanchez had plunked Cleveland’s Shin-Soo Choo in the top half and broke Choo’s thumb last season when he hit him during an interleague game between the San Francisco Giants and the Indians.
Gomez, Acta and Cleveland third baseman Jack Hannahan were ejected. Gomez and Acta were fined undisclosed amounts. Hannahan was fined $500. Gomez said he did not intentionally throw at Moustakas.
Hannahan felt the players were policing themselves.
MLB senior vice president Joe Garagiola Jr. issued the suspension on Wednesday.
In my opinion,this is a joke. Gomez shouldn’t have even been ejected from the game and the warnings shouldn’t have been made until after Cleveland had a chance to retaliate. Gomez hit Moustakas in the butt with an 84mph pitch. I guess you have to be the first team to hit an opposing batter.
