This morning, colleague Sébastien Berrouard told you about the “prowess” of Willson Contreras.

The first baseman showed exceptional leadership by serving a man wearing the same uniform as himself a bat flying in his direction. He also spoiled the groundskeepers with candy.

You don’t have to read between the lines to understand that the veteran didn’t impress me.

Obviously, throwing a wooden stick at another human being is not exactly an acceptable gesture. And Major League Baseball was quick to understand.

Contreras received a six-game suspension from the Commissioner’s Office. He was also fined an undisclosed amount.

He has appealed his case, which means that in the meantime, he has the right to play.

It’s no wonder Major League Baseball cracked down. After all, this was a serious act that could have had serious consequences. A clear message had to be sent.

Remember that Victor Robles, who did the same in the minors, got 10 games. Was it more blatant?

I hope the first baseman gets his lesson. After all, you can be angry all you want, but to act like that (not to mention yelling at the umpire, who did call strike three that threw off Contreras) is just too intense.

And that’s even if it made for some good images.

  • Steve Cohen is building something good.

  • Wow.

  • Alek Manoah did well in AAA.

  • A machine.
