MLB Called on to Suspend Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts After Actions vs. Padres

San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt left his dugout and hollered in the direction of the Dodgers' bench as he made his way toward Tatis, who was still gripping his right hand in obvious pain. In response, Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts left his dugout and pushed Shildt in the chest while screaming in his face. 

Soon after both dugouts cleared. And while no brawl ensued, umpires ultimately tossed multiple coaches/players from the game, including both Roberts and Shildt.

The game concluded shortly after Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani was hit in the back by a pitch off the hand of Padres pitcher Robert Suarez in the bottom half of the ninth inning, which threatened to clear the benches yet again, save for Ohtani's waving his Dodgers teammates off following the incident. Umpires then ejected Suarez from the contest. 

Following the fiery events of the evening, Keith Olbermann took to social media and called on MLB to levy a stiff penalty against Roberts for his actions in the final inning. 

"Dave Roberts should be suspended for a month," Olberman posted to X. "What a childish, amateurish, unprofessional job of making a bad situation exponentially worse #Dodgers #Padres."

As one might expect, the comments section under Olbermann's post proved a veritable dumpster fire of ugly language and personal insults flying in more or less every direction. However, the general sentiment as to whether the former ESPN employee and outspoken broadcaster's suggestion contained merit was roughly a 50-50 split. 

MLB had made no announcements as to punishments for coaches or players on either side of Thursday night's game as of early Friday morning.
