Beckett suspended for 6 games by MLB

2:20pm Eastern

NEW YORK (AP)—Boston pitcher Josh Beckett has been suspended for six games and fined by Major League Baseball, which determined he intentionally threw a pitch near the head of the Los Angeles Angels’ Bobby Abreu last week.

Beckett also was cited for "aggressive actions" after the pitch that led to the benches clearing Sunday, according to Bob Watson, vice president for discipline in the commissioner’s office.

If Beckett appeals, any penalties would be delayed until after a hearing.

Angels hitting coach Mickey Hatcher was suspended for one game and fined, and he was to serve the penalty Tuesday night. In addition, Watson fined Angels manager Mike Scioscia and players Torii Hunter and Justin Speier.

well deserved and justified suspension and fining for Beckett after getting away scott free with no punishment for the pitch or the instigating

eh

i think this is a bit of an overreaction and it was unintentional. That being said, he took it like a man, as he always does. Grace above all..
