Meh… In theory, the Yanks have enough arms in the pen to withstand the loss of Ramirez for a few days. Girardi just has to let his pen men pitch more than one inning.

Guys in NYC usually don’t have the luxury of being able to put it off for too long…because Watson, IIRC, is close by.

It’s the guys in far off places like KC and Arizona who get to delay these things until visits to this area, again, IIRC.

Edwar Ramirez cannot afford to get himself suspended…now.
—————————
Any appeal can postpone the suspension date to a more convenient time. I am not worried.

To which I have to ask, when has ER ever shown a reaction to anything?

Ramirez’s and Cabrera’s ejection the night before were ridiculous. Molina would later be hit and nothing happened. Did Flaherty & O’Neill mention anything regarding intent in the broadcast?

~~Didn’t think it was intentional, didn’t seem that way from the upper deck.~~

Flaherty and O’Neill really felt that it was intentional – based on ER’s non-reaction to the ump tossing him.

Didn’t think it was intentional, didn’t seem that way from the upper deck.

If it was “revenge” it was a stupid move, but I don’t think it was intentional.
