HBT: Lawrie suspended 4 games for helmet hurl

Just got the press release from MLB:

Third baseman Brett Lawrie of the Toronto Blue Jays has received a four-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for his aggressive actions toward Umpire Bill Miller, which included throwing his helmet in Miller?s vicinity, during the bottom of the ninth inning of last night?s game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Rogers Centre.

And he?s appealing, so he is in the lineup tonight.

Seems a little light to me. You can get five games for simply leaving the bench and doing some ineffectual pushing and shoving during one of those low-octane on-field fights. I would have thought that throwing the helmet and having it ? inadvertently or otherwise ? hit an umpire would bring more.

Anyway, this would seem to end it so, for posterity:
