Rose says he would likely repeat the act of shoving umpire Dave Pallone if the same situation recurred as a three-man review panel upholds a 30 day suspension for the incident during the Mets at Reds game. The ruling keeps the $10,000 fine intact and reduces time off by counting this week as part of the penalty.
