Wait, so who should appoint the Appeals Board?
If you think Toby only sorta meant to bump the umpire then three weeks seems about right. But that’s not what the Tribunal found. They found that Greene was aggressive, demonstrative and disrespectful in walking into the umpire.
If that’s what they thought, then three weeks is pretty light on. The Appeals Board thought that based on that finding of fact, the suspension was manifestly inadequate. They’ve obviously put the 15,000 registered umpires higher in their priorities than one player.
Gil mentioned that it was "hard to reconcile“ the suspension length given the finding of fact, once, a month ago. That is exactly what the appeal was about so when asked if they were considering appealing I’m not sure what he’s supposed to say. It’s hardly trying to sway the Appeals Board to state in words why they are appealing.
I don’t know what you’re all so upset about.
