I think Josh tried to stop but the pitch was already going to leave his hand. You go outside and try to throw a pitch but try to stop the throw right around the end of it. You will have a ball either sail or go into the dirt feet in front of you. The latter can get you hurt.andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13080026360873456937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-62318928056855149912009-04-14T16:40:00.000-07:002009-04-14T16:40:00.000-07:00Josh Beckett is appealing the suspension/fineGood....<EM>Josh Beckett is appealing the suspension/fine</EM>Good.

I think the appeal kind of speaks for everything that we feel. ... We don't agree. I respect the job everybody has to do. But we don't agree. ... I don't really feel like I did anything. It's unfortunate. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. Am I supposed to go give him a hug? I wasn't really in a hugging mood right then. ... <br />They made their own judgement on it. I had two umpires tell me that I handled it great. One of them publicly said that.

It's obvious that if you want to suspend a starting pitcher you suspend him for six games and make him miss a start, but this shows a clear disregard for the opinions of those umpiring that game who witnessed all of it first hand and said he wouldn't even have been warned if the benches didn't empty!
