Unless I missed some context, I am really surprised Lopez got suspended for 4 games. (at first it was 7, then reduced to 4 for both of them, plus fines) I really thought Lopez had taken more of a defensive position, and that Soler was the aggressor, and started the fight.
I felt like Lopez was backing up the entire time, while watching his aggressor, and only made contact with Soler when the dude was within reach, and trying to hit Lopez.
I have to assume that Lopez accidentally threw the ball at Soler earlier in the game, and it wasn’t intentional.
It was a great fight to watch. I love watching a baseball fight. But Unless I missed something, I was of the opinion that Soler was more at fault than Lopez, and possibly earned himself a larger suspension than Lopez.
