Sounds to me like Blinded By The Light wants MLB to be more like the NFL...

So, let's see...

Brett Lawrie of the A's injures one of the Royals players with a slide into second the Royals think is dirty on Friday night.

So, Saturday, he's plunked by Yordano Ventura.  Ventura is tossed, and was fined today.

Sunday, Kelvin Herrera is tossed (one of five Royals to be tossed), and then points at his head in the fracas, implying that's where Lawrie's next pitch is going...

... and only gets a five-game suspension.

At that point, Manfred, you have to suspend Lawrie for the injurious slide...

Or are you going to take yet another cue from the NFL (your first being increasing offense, your second is the all-but-certain return of The Steroid Era), and let players and teams go at it?

Herrera should've been banned a month, his manager should've gotten 5-10 games.
