Pike and Zhou Suspended 4 Games for Brawl Sunday, July 26th , 2048 In an announcement today, the league informed Dan Pike of Hialeah and Lung Zhou of Bakersfield 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." Pike 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. "Pike is right. The league needs to look at its policy and make sure the punishment fits the crime." This year Pike has socked 18 hits in 70 at-bats for a .257 average with 5 home runs. He is getting on base at a .329 pace and his totals also include 9 RBIs and 11 runs scored. This season Zhou has made 16 relief appearances with no saves. His won-lost record is 5-1 with a 3.14 ERA. |
