Josh Beckett suspended 6 games
It was just announced that Boston Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett has been suspended for 6 games and fined for throwing at Los Angeles Angels Bobby Abreu. The incident occurred this past Sunday when Beckett took an unusual amount of time between pitches so Abreu called time and Beckett went ahead and threw the ball and it went straight for Abreu’s head. Beckett left the mound and went toward home plate, further inciting the incident
Why he wasn’t tossed from the game then I don’t understand but I do understand the suspension. That Major League baseball trying to get something right after the umpires screwed up. If Beckett was thrown out of the game on Sunday he probably wouldn’t have gotten suspended.
6 games not long enough if u ask me. try 16 nobody should throw at another person.
