Washington Nationals Third Base Coach Pat Listach Gets Three Games
According to the linked article by MLB.com's Bill Ladson, Washington Nationals third base coach Pat Listach will be suspended three games for his role in Wednesday's nights brawl, according to his sources.
Ladson also reports that Nyjer Morgan's disciplinary hearing, originally scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 7, was rescheduled for Friday, Sept. 10.
MLB looks very unfavorably on coaches that get involved in throwdowns, but if Listach gets three games, Morgan is going to get the book thrown at him. A guess is that Morgan's hearing is now going to involve more that just MLB Discipline Czar Bob Watson, thus the need to reschedule.
Stay tuned for more details about the suspensions as we get them.

MLB.com apparently says 8 for Morgan, 6 for Volstad, and 3 each for Slaten, Sanchez, and Listach.
Approve of all of these, but I think Sanchez should get 5.

Riggleman 2, Edwin Rodriguez 1, Veras unspecified fine but no suspension.

Gaby Sanchez should have gotten 0. He did what anyone else would have done, defend their pitcher who was being attacked.
What's more frustrating than being a Marlins and Orioles fan? Eye surgery???
it's still grounds for suspension, regardless of being duty bound.

With that logic though, Nyjer shouldn't have gotten any games either
He was the FOURTH batter hit in that game by Volstad. That’s clearly intentional.
Needs moar dingerz.
Not quite
He was the third. He wasn’t hit a second time. And, I must say YET AGAIN, I don’t think anybody believes that the first two HBP’s were intentional.

There's a way to do that without clotheslining somebody.
If I was a Marlins fan, I would make Gaby a hero, but that shouldn’t deny that he deserves to be suspended.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
I wouldn't make Gaby a hero, he's a cheap shot artist and I would hit him every time
he’s up to bat, but that’s just me. hehe

Nah. Once is enough. For anything. Slaten got that.
