Bradley threw a bottle at the ground that was originally thrown at him. It was just an act of rudeness and immaturity, not violence.

So, if the bottle he threw hit someone in the eye and caused permanent vision loss it would be different?
No, MLB looks at the act, not the result (I'm not saying you wrong about the suspension, I have read much on it). but you have to punsih the act, not the result in these cases. What if the chair thrown didn't hit anyone?
Now, given... in the case of the bottle, it was thrown at him, so he was provoked... but you still can't do that... If he saw who did it, he needs to tell secuirity and have the guy tossed... What made it worse, besides MB having a short fuse is the umps were on his side, tried to calm him down and he flipped out on the umps for no reason and got tossed.
