That is, by far, the worst kind of suspension. Regardless,
Jeanmar Gomez's will last 5 game, i.e. one start. While it was not immediately discussed, it is likely that Gomez will appeal the suspension until it is convenient for him to serve it. That time will come when the Indians can determine who should take the spot start or there is a gap in the schedule that would allow four men to work through a single cycle. While
Zach McAllister,
Kevin Slowey and
Scott Barnes are the most likely candidates for that start, none has been particularly consistent in the early going. Columbus' best pitcher has been
Corey Kluber, who is on the 40-man roster. While there was exactly zero discussion of Kluber for a big league job during the spring, we should probably pay attention to the dark horse's next couple of starts.
In other actions associated with the brawl that led to the Gomez suspension, the league also fined
Jack Hannahan $500 (worth it) and Manny Acta an undisclosed amount (probably $2 because woManny is a big blood belching vagina who would never stand up for anyone).
Cheers.
