Day 837

• The biggest basebrawl in years took place in Anaheim yesterday, as beanballs and brushbacks precipitated a full-scale three-rounder yesterday.

12 players/managers suspended.

Anaheim:

• Manager Phil Nevin got 10 games, and if he's seen as the instigator of this with the beanballs on Sunday, he got off LIGHT!  Between that he changed pitchers just before the start and the complete lack of control of the dugout coaching staff, I'm putting the starting bid at... 15?  20???
• Ryan Tepera
• Andrew Wantz, three each.
• Anthony Rendon will be suspended the next five games he is eligible to play -- and he's suspended seven more from the bench.  He's on the injured list and threw the first meaningful shot.
• Assistant Pitching Coach Don Chiti got five, and bench coach Ray Montgomery and catchers' coach Bill Haselman will serve two-game suspensions after Chiti's five is served, because someone has to actually manage the team!
• Rasiel Iglesias and interpreter Manny Del Campo two each.
• HELLO, FORFEITURES???  DECLARE THE ENTIRE TEAM OUT OF CONTROL AND FORFEIT TWO GAMES OR SOMETHING.

Seattle:

• JP Crawford got five.
• Julio Rodriguez got two.
