Min0,

I really feel like you haven't seen the Beckett/Abreu play.

The ball was nowhere near his head.

I think you are a Beckett homer.

Tough beginning with the loses, Beckett on suspension and Dice-K on disabled list

Bobby is still close to home...Beckett is close to touching home plate, he has a lot of rage in him.

For those who were dumbfounded by the fact that Boston Red Sox starter Josh Beckett was not thrown out of Sunday’s game against the Anaheim Angels for throwing at Bobby Abreu, there was some justice served Tuesday as Beckett was suspended for six games by Major League Baseball.

The incident took place after Abreu requested a timeout in his first-inning at-bat, which was granted by the home plate umpire, Paul Schreiber. Beckett went through with his delivery and proceeded to send a pitch high and tight, nearly hitting Abreu (video).

“I’ve never hit anybody in the head, and it’s not really on my list of stuff to accomplish,” Beckett said Sunday. “But people can think what they want to think. I know Bobby Abreu. He knows I’m not trying to hit him in the head.”

The league did not agree with Beckett’s assessment, saying his “aggressive actions” had “incited the bench-clearing incident.”

After the pitch and a puzzled reaction from Abreu, Beckett marched “menacingly toward the plate,” as written by Kevin Baxter of The Los Angeles Times, and began shouting at Abreu. The benches cleared and four Angels, including Manager Mike Scioscia, were ejected while Beckett was not even given a warning for the pitch.

The Angels’ hitting coach, Mickey Hatcher, was also suspended for one game and fines were handed out to Hatcher, Scioscia, outfielder Torii Hunter and reliever Justin Speier.

Mr. Soxmuscle, I thought better of you.

The pitch Clemens threw at Manny was a high and tight fastball which Posada caught now a pitcher has every right to not let a batter get to comfortable.

The Beckett pitch was over Bobby's head.....Varitech had no change of even catching the ball it was so far over his head.

To make matters even worse he charges the plate.

Talk about a homer.

You can roll the video and see for yourself.

Daisuke' arm is overworked, sore and effecting his season.

The WBC really serves no purpose - if Roy Halladay was in a similar situation, your opinion would be different.

No shit Bobby is still close to home, the umpire stepped in his way blocking him from advancing much past home plate.

Rage

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

The two pitches are similar only because of the incidents.

Abreu (and Manny) wrongfully acted causing the pitchers (both Beckett and Clemens) to fire back.

Of course the plays are different, that's self explanatory. Beckett was stopped halfway through his wind up and had no control over his pitch, which is the only reason it came close to his head.

You're wrong here, Min0.

If you say so.

soxmuscle · 04-19-2009, 10:29 AM

I don't mean it like that - All of the ESPN people agree with me, all of the Red Sox people agree with me and I believe even the Angels people agree with me.

There was nothing malicious about that play and there shouldn't be a suspension and you're in the minority with your thought process here that Beckett is this malicious person full of rage looking to head hunt.

soxmuscle · 04-19-2009, 11:41 AM

Major League Baseball now has overruled that shithead Watson and will reduce the suspension so that he won't miss any time.

"Josh Beckett had his suspension reduced from six games to five games, meaning he won't miss a scheduled start.
Beckett wanted to appeal the suspension for throwing at the Angels Bobby Abreu based on principle as he doesn't agree with it, but the Red Sox would rather just get it over with now that it means he won't miss any real time. With the Red Sox having Thursday off, Beckett will make his next start Saturday on six days' rest."

min0 lee · 04-19-2009, 11:56 AM

Suspension on pitchers are a joke.

This maniac is a menace to society and should be banned before he hurts any more innocent players.

Let me guess Leucic didn't deserve a suspension either?

I always found it unfair how an everyday player will miss 4 games while a pitcher may not even lose a start.
Pretty stupid isn't it?

No, it's the playoffs for christ sake. That lapierre bum instigated the fight coming after Lucic AT THE END OF THE GAME when they were losing 5-1. Obviously he wanted this to happen and Lucic couldn't keep his cool and checked him in the upper chest.

Hardly a "blow to the head", the media always makes it more serious than it was. So overblown.

**IainDaniel** · 04-20-2009, 01:41 PM

YouTube Video

Hardly a blow to the head..... haha. you are on crack... First he cross checked another guy, then Lapierre came in(never instigated a thing), in which he practically took of his head (notice the helmet came off, that isn't from a chest shot.)

Playoffs or not, head shots deserve a suspension.

Watch the play again. He got 2 for the original cross check, and 5 mins for the cross check to the head.

min0 lee · 04-20-2009, 02:00 PM

I think the Boston network does a lot of editing, that would how these guys don't see the obvious.

It's the Boston goggles syndrome.

shiznit2169 · 04-20-2009, 04:28 PM

lmao, i have seen worse hits than that. That is NOTHING. It's fricken hockey dude. It's ok, give Lucic the day off. Montreal has no chance this year.

**IainDaniel** · 04-21-2009, 09:58 AM

I have played hockey my whole life and still do.... so don't give the "it's hockey line"

Lucic lost his cool... he even knows it.

You are correct that Montreal has no Chance. Montreal shouldn't even of made the playoffs. Florida or Buffalo would have made a better series out of it.

Please keep the gay hockey talk in the gay hockey thread.

My Sox/Yanks prediction for the first series of 2009: Sox sweep.

It's going to be a good one, the Red Sox are hot right now.
Jaba has been so- so.
