This was for the argument in the Phillies series with Chuck Meriwether and Tim Welke. Giles was safe. Bobby will manage tonight and serve the suspension starting tomorrow.

I don’t think they are suspending him because of this one little incident. I think they are suspending him because of the other eight incidents throughout the season, and they’re just using this incident as a concrete situation instead of, “We need to suspend him because he’s getting ejection too often.” I’m surprised they used this incident since Giles was clearly safe.
Come on, he wasn’t clearly safe, he may have been safe but after 5 replays I wasn’t sure. Maybe the tag went right between Giles arms, maybe he nipped a hand, who knows. It was not obvious.
