The czars of MLB discipline handed out their punishments from the brawl Tuesday night between the D-Back and the Dodgers.
In case you forgot what happened, roll the videotape.
Diamondback pitcher Ian Kennedy has received a 10-game suspension for intentionally throwing a pitch toward the head of the Dodgers Zach Greinke in the bottom of the seventh inning after a warning had already been issued to both Clubs earlier in the game.
Both managers, Kirk Gibson of the D-Backs and Don Mattingly of the Dodgers got one game suspensions each. Gibson's suspension is for the intentional actions of Kennedy after a warning had been issued (MLB speak) and Mattingly for "....the actions of his Club and for his conduct during the incident."
Mattingly threw down Diamondback coach Alan Trammell.
Oh there's more, D-Backs Eric Henske left the dugout and in the words of MLB acted agressively during the incident. That's going to cost Henske five games.
Dodger pitcher J.P. Howell, infielder/outfielder Skip Schumaker and hitting coach Mark McGwire each received two game suspensions.
