Rays ace Chris Archer stands accused of firing a purpose pitch that cametoo close for comfort behindBlue Jays slugger Jose Bautista.That's more than enough to warrant a suspension in the mind of John Gibbons, who called on MLB to follow a recent trend and step in to discipline such an action."I would expect there has got to be some kind of suspension," the Blue Jays manager told reporters while discu sing Archer's alleged behavior Sunday afternoonfollowing a 3-1 win. "The way they handle things now, the (Manny) Machado thing the other day, the ball was thrown Reynaldo Lopez Jersey behind him."Now, if the umpire had not i sued a warning, OK, maybe he didn't think something was wrong. Since he i sued a warning, maybe he thought, 'Ah, something's not right here. If the umpire thinks something was i sued for a reason, maybe he Yoan Moncada Cool Base Black Jersey though there was some intent and that's why I would imagine the league would step up like they do most of the time. I would be disappointed if they didn't. They have to maintain that, whatever the word is, continuity."In the first inning, Archer fired a first-pitch 97 mph fastball well behind Bautista's back, resulting in a staredownbetween the two.Home plate umpire Jim Wolf i sued warnings to both teams and Bautista flew out to right field on the third pitch of the at-bat. As he headed to the dugout,Bautista exchanged words with the Rays' right-hander.The game continued without further incident.Afterward, Archer said the ball simply got away from him.Bautista admitted he wasn't sure aboutArcher's intent.Gibbons, though, likenedthe ordeal to last week's debacle between Machado and Red Sox reliever Matt Barnes, who threw a pitch that came dangerously close the the Orioles slugger's head. It wasapparent retaliation for Machado having injured Boston's Dustin Pedroia earlier in the series on a controversial slide.Barnes received a four-game suspension and was fined.On Saturday,Blue Jays pitcher Joe Biagini threw an inside pitch that caught the Rays' Steven Souza Jr. on his left hand.Biaginis pitch did not seem to be intentional.Souza suffered only a contusion and is day to day.That's beside the point, according to Gibbons."As far as throwing behind, I don't get that," he said. "I don't know if it had anything to do with Souza. All I know, with Souza, we had a little dust-up down in Florida. There was nothing there. He had plenty of at-bats since then. ... If we were going to do something, I don't know why Welington Castillo Jersey we would have."
