Rowdy Players Suspended by League Tuesday, May 29th, 2018 In an announcement today, the league informed Hiroshi Kichida of Sanford and Momoru Sato of Cherry Hill that they both had been suspended 2 games for fighting in a recent game. The league president told them, "This type of aggressive behavior will not be tolerated in this league." Kichida wasn't happy with the length of his suspension. He thought he got the worst deal and told the league commissioner, "In any fight, whoever throws the first punch should get a more severe penalty. If I threw the first punch, I'd expect to get the most punishment. Whoever took the blow should get a lesser punishment." His manager agreed with him and said something needs to be done about it. "Kichida is right. The league needs to look at its policy and make sure the punishment fits the crime." Hitting .208 to date, Kichida has no home runs and 12 RBIs. He has played in 34 games. This season Sato has been credited with no saves. In 10 relief appearances and 37.1 innings he has a 0-7 won-lost mark, 8.92 ERA and 43 strikeouts |
