two things

1. you throw where the hitter was but high over his head not at teh A on the helmet - so the throw I was OK with, location I question

2. You call time that late into an at bat and an ump gives it to you, get the F out of the Batters Box because the pitch is coming.

it is a 1 start suspension he will appeal

"Yankee Bob" is up to his old tricks. What an absolute load of shit.

Oh wewll, make it all that much better when the Sox finally catch fire and start playing good ball.
 
Not that bothered by the notion of Beckett missing just one start.

Now if the Sox continue to hit as if they're allergic to first base.....
 
I guess he should have hit Abreau:coffee:
 
Are you freaking kidding me!!!!! He is in his windup coming home with the ball, the ump jumps out and screams timeout, and beckett is supposed to be under control and accurate???? What kind fof utter bullshit is this. He had a man on base, why would he throw at him? you think maybe just maybe, that when he is in concentration and you scream time out when he is coming home with the ball, it maybe, just maybe might cause the ball to go somewhere other than where he was throwing it!!! I swear to god if this sticks, this is teh biggest bunch of crap I have heard in a long damn time and I will stop watching this sorry ass sport if its come to this.:mad:
 
Oh am not mad about the 6 that it will effect us, that is just one game and he will be fine, it just the absurdity of it all

yes he is a MLB pitch, he knows where it is going at 99.99999% of the time

the catcher was set up outside and low, that is where the pitch was supposed to go as he went into his windup. so in the tradition of pitchers from years gone by Beckett threw it up and at the batter for calling a late time out, common practice but he knew where that pitch was going in a general area before he threw it and adjusted that after the time out was awarded. So we can conclude one of the following - the ball didn't rise fast enough, he thought abreu was going to be out of the box or he intended to hit him in the A on the helmet.


I have no problem with this suspension

Thats insane. First of all, why would he pick that point to throw at the batter? The timeout was called as he was coming home, which threw off his course from a concentration stand point. There was no intent, no reason, and the the ump even said the ball sailed off course because of the timeout being called. Saying a pitcher who is surprised by a quick timeout in the middle of his delivery home can place the ball 99% of the time is incorrect. This is a stupid suspension. You cannot tell me that the timeout had nothing to do with the ball flying off course.
 
This is why I like hockey , Milan Lucic can rip Komisariks head off and he gets 4 minutes in the box, Josh Beckett throws near a guys head and he gets suspended 6 games.
 
I saw it live, and I think Beckett was pissed the umpire called time so late...and Beckett lost his head a little bit. Personally, I wish he threw it a bit closer to the umpire, to knock him down!

Beckett is like Pedro or Roger in this aspect....he has the heart of a lion, and sometimes that lion gets loose and must be figuratively shot with a tranquilizer gun.

I'm glad Beckett is on the Red Sox, and not on the Yankees. He is a real pain in the arse to the opposition.
