I really want to know more about the incident. Evidently Hunter said that somebody said something that made him completely lose it...and it didn't come from the Red Sox. Obviously emotions are very intense in LA, but I wonder if the umpires didn't do their best to control the situation.

That'd be nice to miss Beckett.

He'll definitely appeal and get it shortened to 4 games and not miss any time. He'll certainly make his start against us.

I don't know what's gonna happen but, whatever it is, I bet it's not a 4-game suspension.

With SP's, if they suspend them they always do it so they miss a start. They know how often SP's do their jobs.

For what? That throw over Abreu's head on a late timeout call? That would be lame. Or did something happen in that bench clearing brawl? Got a link?

The Asheville Citizen-Times may not be a prime source for MLB or Major League anything, but here's their brief clip on the subject (I just happened to have that open on my desktop):

The Boston Globe is reporting that Red Sox 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.

From what's left of the Seattle PI, by way of that den of iniquity known as the Sons of Sam Horn:

NEW YORK -- 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.

I can not think of 1 starting pitcher that had his number of days reduced, and that he was still able to continue to make his next start without missing it.

I wonder the same thing. Hunter is a respected veteran guy, not the type to just fly off the handle for no reason. Of course the mere existence of Josh Beckett is enough to make me pretty mad. :P

      Trade Idea for MOO bat.

      By Frobby · Posted

      I don’t disagree.  I just feel like our pitching doesn’t get enough credit for the excellent season we just had.  And in my opinion, we are extremely fortunate to be sitting here with Bradish under control for 5 seasons and Rodriguez for 6, not to mention Kremer for 4.   That’s an extremely nice foundation around which to construct a staff.  I do wish we had a bit more quality depth in the minors.

      I don't think it's really an apples to apples comparison. They have plenty of hitting contingency plans in the minors, but not so much on the pitching side. And they've already lost a member of their starting rotation and their closer. Whether or not you believe they need to make a drastic move or a series of modest moves I still believe that 90% of their money and/or trade capital should go to filling and/or improving those pitching holes this season.

      Cease vs everyone else

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Elias needs to trade from what he has because they won’t do what it takes financially to bring in a difference making pitcher. This is the only way they will acquire one. But Cease isn’t the only target either. The Dodgers also tend to trade prospects they aren’t as enamored with.

      Update: OPACY lease "Agreed to in principle" still not signed by John Angelos

      By Es4M11 · Posted

      Not allowing these matters to be decoupled puts Angelos in a little bit of a pickle then, no? My limited understanding of this issue is that these additional development rights have to be approved by the General Assembly, which does not meet again until January. But the lease needs to be signed by 12/31, lest Angelos and the MSA agree to another short term lease/extension. Not getting a full lease done by 12/31 would be quite the bad look for everyone involved, not that John Angelos seems to give a damn about the veracity of his public statements.

      You're making the offensive situation sound much more dire than it actually is. And the whole point of stripping it down to the studs and rebuilding with a bevy of young hitting prospects is that you trust your analysis/scouting and you bank on them improving. I would say it worked out pretty well with Henderson and Rutschman last season, no? A full season with Westburg and Kjerstad in particular in the lineup should offer a pretty significant bosot to the offense. And you'll also likely be adding another solid bat to the lineup in Holliday mid-season. For a team that we all suspect has a glass ceiling budget there's absolutely no reason to spend a portion of those precious dollars on a MOO bat. Not when they have much more glaring needs on the pitching side.

      Well if Holty was a wizard, Frenchy could be a sorcerer?
