Baars and Trstenjak Fight, Suspended 4 Games Monday, July 5th, 2038 In an announcement today, the league informed Imbart Baars of Belleville and Darko Trstenjak of Athletic Club KC that they both had been suspended 4 games for fighting in a recent game. The league president told them, "This type of aggressive behavior will not be tolerated in this league." Baars wasn't happy with the length of his suspension. He thought he got the worst deal and told the league commissioner, "In any fight, whoever throws the first punch should get a more severe penalty. If I threw the first punch, I'd expect to get the most punishment. Whoever took the blow should get a lesser punishment." His manager agreed with him and said something needs to be done about it. "Baars is right. The league needs to look at its policy and make sure the punishment fits the crime." Baars is hitting .233 this year with 3 home runs, 17 RBIs and 22 runs scored. He has 42 hits in 180 at-bats, 18 walks and a .325 on-base percentage. Baars has played in 51 games. This season Trstenjak is 4-and-3 with 3 saves and a 3.19 ERA. He has given up 27 hits in 31 innings with 44 strikeouts. |
