What a joke. Bob Watson sticking it to the Sox every chance he gets. 6 games and he wasn’t even ejected from the game by the umpires. But “Pontius Pilate” Watson waves his staff and gives him 6 games and a hefty fine. Three of their guys get tossed by the umpires and only get fined. Speier comes in from the bullpen to get involved and he is only fined. Becket went through with the pitch when the umpire granted the timeout to late, so he wouldn’t get injured. If he wanted to hit Abreu, he certainly would have.

Fines and suspensions??? What example is this extremely popular pitcher setting? Just one kid who sees his hero intentionally throw a pitch to scare or hurt another player really bothers me. I know for a fact that as I grew up playing baseball (and as a pitcher) that if I lost control of a ball and it either hit the player or came close it was mandatory from the coach to apologize. Just seems like good sportsmanship to me!

this is BS!!!! first of all if you watch the video again you’ll see Abreu still in his stance hloding the bat with two hands and he is still in the batters box! how does or how did he call time??? by verbally asking for it? then Tek would’ve stood up! Next Beckett already lifted his left foot as the umpire yells time and steps out of his crouch!!! MLB better fix this as soon as possible!

This whole deal stinks. Umpire did not throw Beckett out of game. Worse case fine only. The Angels manager thinks he knows everything except beating the Red Sox in the post season.

The whole thing stinks, if he didn’t get tossed from the game then he shouldn’t get a suspension. trust me if beckett was aiming for abreu’s head he would have taken it off. it’s so obvious he was intending to stave off injury and as usual it was another chance for dumb a_ _ watson to screw the red sox again. he should be fined and suspended for all his shoddy work each week.

Waaaaaaah. Boo Hoo!. Everyone is always picking on us. We never do anything wrong. Everybody is just jealous. Get over yourselves Boston. Be men instead of cry babies. Now I see why the whiner line is so popular.

In my opinion Josh Beckett is being selfish. He should accept the suspension and serve it immediately. That would be best for the team and the rotation.

Josh Beckett needs to have a great year. He has only had ONE good year in the 3 that he has been here, and he’s a one season with 12-10 record and a 4 plus ERA away from making the Hanley Ramirez trade a DISASTER for Boston. Not a good start.
