Pitcher Ryan Tepera 3 games and a fine and David Ross suspended one game and a fine.
Here's the offending pitch that hits Brewer pitcher Brandon Woodruff...
But Woodruff has hit Cubs catcher Willson Contreras 7 times over the last year, including one earlier in the same game.
In fact it's so bad the Cubs later tweeted this...
But post game, Willson Contreras did an interview, saying that when you want to hit someone, maybe it shouldn't be a pitcher; basically admitting it was on purpose.
Tepera decided to appeal the suspension instead of serving time starting today.
He must have missed the post game interview...
Cannot make this shit up.
