Though I am a bit surprised that Ventura gets seven games for being a potty mouth to the instigator (who got no suspension), while the guy who attempted to enter the opponents locker room to start a fight only gets five and the guy who picked a fight with the opponent also gets five.

Oh, gee, I dunno? maybe because the guy has been thrown out of just about every start he's been in this year? The guy is amazing to watch. He's an idiot though, and if the Royals don't reign him in, he's going to do something really stupid.
For the record, I did see the MLB network piece and think it's a bunch of garbage. He stares down Trout in a 7-0 game because why exactly? Trout hit a shot up the middle? The slide was not horrible by Lawrie and your manager admitted it after the game.
The thing is, we can analyze all these incidents if you want and you can come out and assign blame to any percentage you want. You think Trout was in the wrong? I think your opinion is terribly wrong, but lets do it. Lets call it 70% 30% in favor of the Royals. Then we'll call the next one 85% 15% in favor of the Royals. Then we'll call the next one 95% vs 5% in favor of the Royals.
Why is it that it's always the Royals and almost always this guy? Are they the only team that's been "wronged" in major league baseball this year?
This is really simple. it keeps happening because the Royals and specifically Ventura continue to act like immature idiots. I don't care if you disagree with this opinion or not, the Royals had better get this kid under control or he's going to lose his cool and hurt someone on the field. Furthermore, they are going to lose a key member of the team in a stupid brawl. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong, stop getting in these situations. only bad things can happen.
