Really sucks because Ventura has godtier stuff/potential and his temper is definitely holding him back.

Also, saw a funny tweet that said: "The MLB needs to show they're serious about this and have Ventura and Machado play 6 games for the Braves as punishment."
I mean, your strength isn't going to dissipate over night or over years even. I would hope someone would be good at pitch recognition if they've been playing at the MLB level for 19 years. And it's easy to be confident when somehow, miraculously, at 40, you're on pace to set career highs in every stat.
I don't hate the redsox, but being a DH is the easiest job in baseball. Nothing he's doing is impressive, nor will it ever be impressive at this point for me because if you're not hitting north of .270 anyways then you shouldn't be getting paid to exclusively hit and be an (overweight)athlete.
Batting is only down versus pitching because of the mound changes. It'll get lowered again someday or the strikezone will be altered and the bats will catch fire again and no one will care. David Ortiz isn't even the best player on his team right now.
Scratch that, looks like fangraphs thinks bogz is better in terms of WAR. Ortiz is #2 on his team and #10 in baseball. Red sox are just incredible all around though.
When does suspensions happen for Machado for charging the plate? I thought it would be right away but he just hit a HR.
Players generally appeal suspensions and the suspensions don't start until that appeal is heard, which is usually the first time the team has an off day or between series.
How long is something like that though? Like a couple games or do they just do fines?
He'll probably get something relative to what the pitcher misses. So 1 start for a pitcher (which is typically every 5 days) I'd imagine would be a 5 game suspension for Machado.
