Am I wrong in thinking that Dusty is taking the right approach on this? I feel like a lot of managers would talk about this not being something the team should be worried about, the professionalism of the other players, blah, blah, etc. Dusty knows his players are going to be thrown at and is trying to get out in front in favor of harsh punishments.

What is the over/under on number of pitchers suspended for hitting Astro players? 5? 10?

Sportsbooks expect Astros hitters to be targeted often this season

Not the number I was looking for but I think I am taking the under. I think around hit batter 50, somebody is getting 25 games.
