Brett Lawrie could face a long suspension
After last night’s incident (if you don’t know what happened, go watch the video in the previous post by ed), Brett Lawrie could be facing a very long suspension.
If there is one thing that Major League Baseball doesn’t tolerate, it is contact with an Umpire. I fully believe Lawrie, when he said that he had no intentions of throwing his helmet at the Ump, but the fact of the matter is that his bucket bounced right on him.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Lawrie miss the next 10-15 games. Hopefully for him and the Blue Jays, the discipline committee will listen to Brett and see that he wasn’t throwing his helmet directly at the Umpire, but I doubt he gets out of it. A decision should be taken very soon in the Lawrie case.
