After watching the video and seeing the reports, I can't believe that people are calling for Ventura to be suspended.
He didn't throw at Eaton.
He didn't start the confrontation.
He didn't throw a punch.
About the only thing he's guilty of is immaturity - he responded to Eaton when he screamed at him while jogging to first.
The brawl - especially the feature bout between Samardzija and Cain - looks like the product of past confrontations. They just used the excuse of a shouting match to come out of the dugout and continue their own personal feud.
Given all of the above, there's really no justification to suspend Ventura. (Which is why he'll probably get 5 games.)
Hawk is the very definition of a contra-indicator.
Never go full Hawk.
