Carlos Beltran and Jerry Manuel were fined for their interaction Tuesday night with umpire Brian Runge.
Runge, however, was not fined, but was suspended for one game.

Appropriate indeed.
Sweet Justice!
One game for bumping a Manager? If it was the other way around it would have been at least 5 games. I HATE UMPS!!
Glad to see the ump was fined and suspended too. That went too far.
He should have been castrated…
maybe Ollie Perez can get implanted.
Did I miss something? Matt reports Runge got suspended but not fined…..
he wasn’t fined.
I’d say how I really feel about Brian Runge, but I noticed no one curses uncontrollably or makes death threats on this blog, so….
um, he more than likely has a tiny pee-pee, which would explain his actions. Ok, I’m going to go find an R rated site and go buck wild!
Beltran and Manuel should appeal; I think they have a very good chance of having their fines/suspensions overturned.
Runge, on the other hand, was clearly in the wrong, clearly the instigator and clearly acted in a totally unprofessional manner.
They have no suspesion, only a fine.
Doesn’t change the point of my post — whether it’s a suspension, fine, or suspension/fine (note the “slash” there, denoting either, not to fine pick a point, but since you opened the door…), they should appeal it; clearly Runge was the instigator, and although they both responded, Runge did in fact “bump” Manuel, and did in fact apologize for it later, and he did, in fact, bait Carlos Beltran. If I were Manuel and/or (note the “slash” there, again) Beltran, I would certainly appeal the fine.
Nice…Magic got burned/owned.
If you were Manual/Beltran…
That’s impossible, you can’t be both at the same time. Besides, Manual/Beltran doesn’t even exist…
I don’t know if the two of you have a history on this site, but if not, it seemed to me that magic was merely trying clarify a situation where your slash might have suggested that one of Manuel and Beltran got suspended, or at least the possibility that they did. Since there were, in fact, no suspensions given to Manuel and Beltran, I don’t think magic meant any offense, and there wasn’t really any reason to take exception to his clarification of your point.
That said, while the whole thing was instigated by Runge, Manuel and Beltran did allow his baiting to get to them and they reacted. I agree that they shouldn’t have been fined, but that happens (in hockey, if i guy instigates a fight, he gets an extra penalty, but both players get fighting penalties). At any rate, Beltran and Manuel make enough money, that it’s probably not worth their while to appeal. If it was a suspension that would be a different story.
you are, in fact, lame. No way MLB lifts and “slash” or lessens the fine, clearly.
As it appears the average age and IQ of many of the posters on this thread probably match, there’s no point in continuing.
And name calling really becomes you, bhorn. So proud of yourself you must be.
just poking fun at your ridiculously worded explanation/rebuttal but thanks Yoda.
It is really about who is on first and what is on second, and i do-no is playing third. I think?
Heeyyy, sometimes MLB does the right thing.
Only one game?? where is the justice?
exactly. if a manager or player bumps an umpire, you’re looking at 5 games minimum. More like 10 if there’s any actual force behind it.
1 game for the ump seems light.
Yes it does, especially when combined with the fact that Beltran and Manuel were fined, as well. Still, I think the umpire’s suspension, for even one game, was more than many fans expected, and was somewhat surprising, considering that historically, an umpire practically has to shoot a player on the field to suffer any repercussions at all from MLB, lol.
Yea very light.
Actually for an ump to go this far it should be a heavy fine and suspension.
Just think of it if there was a tight race, and a close game and that happened?
And because he was the one that got it going that way i see no reason why a player or manager should have any fine.
Major League Baseball announced today that Umpire Brian Runge has been suspended for one game for his conduct, which included making contact with Manuel, during the incident. Runge’s suspension will be served immediately. Mike Port, Vice President of Umpiring for Major League Baseball, made the announcement.
Statistical question.
for $200K, I give you a guy who hit 28 hrs in 350 ABs last year, avg. of .276, and an OBP of .410 and had 66 rbis. He can play first base, but prefers outfield. Would you take a flier on him over .250 avg 0 hrs in 350 ABs?
no
Mo. You know who I know. Come on. Just say it. You like those numbers? Correct?
Barry would put this team on his once roided shoulders. None of the haters would be saying a word if he took us to the WS. You idiots that say he was a cheat had no problem cheering for Lo Duca, who was a cheat, or Mota (ok we had a problem with that) or Shownweiss, so why do you have a problem with Barry? He obviously doesn’t do it anymore, as he was tested 300x last year and he still nearly hit 30HRs.
You guys honestly think Delgado was never on the juice or HGH? Please.
Its a truth that a large % of players have juiced. Delgado may have himself. Its so many that you can’t pick and choose anymore who you want to hate so you either accept them all or none of them.
With Bonds you can make an exception! And No Not b/c of race or anything. He has two of the most coveted records in all of sports. Thats a big deal.
Most home runs and most consecutive juicing season? Lol…
I would.
this. let’s get it done. it is INSANE that barry is not already in queens. and why isn’t anyone in the media writing about him?
It’s called collusion.
I’m just saying, those numbers, the Mets situation, the potential spin we could put on this? Charity? Maybe even like, everyone deserves a second chance?
I have a “spin” the Mets front office can use…
“We’d like to occasionally score runs.”
I’d love Barry Barry. Baseball been barry barry good to me.
Again, I will say this as I have said in other posts, we are media drones. They spin Barry. They spun Willie, asking how could he have a job. We fire him. They spin it like, how can the Mets fire Willie like that. etc.
By the way, Marrion Barry was a Mayor in DC, publicly admitted smoking crack. We voted him in for a second term. What up??!!!
