This article (By hitting Bryce Harper, Hunter Strickland stupidly puts teammates at risk) mentions the infielders also took their time getting into the situation. I'd say it was more than just Posey who wanted nothing to do with the situation.
cal, don't you know ANYthing? Its practically already finished business that Harper (and Manny Machado too) will be a Yankee the very second he becomes a free agent.
Following Bonds to the pinstripes?
Personally, I would like to see suspensions for idiotic things like this to be longer. Would Strickland had thrown a 98 MPH heater into a batter's hip had he known a 20 or 30 game suspension was coming his way? Would Harper had charged the mound and thrown his helmet had he known a 15 game suspension could have happened? Sure, but I think both would have thought harder about doing it, and would have been less likely to have committed these less than smart actions if the consequences were more steep.
If you think the Giants lost that battle, I have some oceanfront property to sell you in Arizona...The Giants have lost in every way possible this year, and now we lose the suspension battle, too, 6-4.
