Nyjer Morgan Suspended 8 Games For Role In Brawl, Other Infractions

You'll all recall that Nyjer Morgan is currently appealing a seven-game suspension handed down after he threw a ball into the stands in Philadelphia, hitting a fan. Why don't we go ahead and make that an even 15?

Rather than laying low following his initial discipline, Morgan proceeded to bowl over two catchers, argue with fans, and take an active role in a bench-clearing brawl between the Nationals and Marlins. Major League Baseball has determined that his actions were sufficiently troublesome to warrant a severe penalty.

Morgan's appeal hearing for his first suspension has been scheduled for next Friday. We'll see what he does about his second one.

Nationals third base coach Pat Listach was suspended three games for his participation in the brawl.
