Joe Torre is not playing.
On Thursday, Major League Baseball handed out multiple suspensions to multiple players from the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds after their massive brawl earlier this week.
The Reds will also be without their skipper David Bell for six games, not because he fought anybody, but because he was ejected and then returned back to the field of play.
“The incidents between these two clubs remain a source of concern, and it’s reflected by the level of discipline we are handing down today,” Joe Torre, Chief Baseball Officer for Major League Baseball, said in a statement. “Everyone on the field should be aware of the example they are setting for fans, particularly young people.
“I firmly expect these two managers and all others to hold their players accountable for appropriate conduct and to guide them in the right direction.”
