Dave Roberts earned a suspension and Andy Green a fine for their brouhaha over sign stealing:
Major League Baseball suspended Dodgers manager Dave Roberts for one game and fined Padres manager Andy Green an undisclosed amount for their actions during Friday’s bench-clearing confrontation at Petco Park, Chief Baseball Officer Joe Torre announced Saturday.
Dodgers pitcher Alex Wood, who accused Padres left fielder Jose Pirela of relaying signals to the batter’s box, also was fined an undisclosed amount.
In the bottom of the first, Dodgers left Alex Wood had some words with Padres left fielder Jose Pirela, who was standing at second base following a leadoff double. Wood thought Pirela was stealing signs.
The Wood-Pirela exchange led to the two managers, Dave Roberts and Andy Green, getting into a heated argument. At one point Roberts went around the umpire and pushed Green.
I’m a bit surprised by that. Dave Roberts always struck me as a calm, in-control fellow. He’ll have a day to sit home and think about his actions.
