How he didnt get ejected his amazing to me..

Not only did he throw at Abreu, after that he charged home plate which cleared the benches..

Ended up with 4 Angels bot ejected..

I like Beckett, but that was bush. I am in favor of the "purpose" pitch, but that was totally wrong...time was called, he probably figured he could throw it hard and in without any consequence. But you don't call out the opposing team...stay on the mound and pitch.

The Red Sox are the Patriots of MLB, of course he didn't get ejected. What harm is there in thowing a 100-mph fastball at someone's head then yelling at the ump about it?

I don't see a problem...

Cat and mouse,......

Pitcher doesn't like the signs the catcher is throwing down....

Batter gets tired of standing in there.......

Catcher and Pitcher get on the same page.......

Batter calls time at the last minute......

Pitcher takes it out on the batter.......

Got no problem with it.

He held the ball for too long, neither of them were wrong, it happens all the time. It's worse that he did it while he was stepping out of the box. Had he waited til the next pitch it wouldn't have been as bad.

And then for him to approach the plate is just bullshit, he was the one who provoked it, he doesn't get to charge.

Exactly the point... He threw the fastball at the head... He is the initial one that was yelling and approached the plate... He should have been ejected. Without question.

Nothing better than to see a batter crowd the plate, screw with the pitcher and catcher, and then back out followed by some chin music.

Not sure what the fuss is over.

Part of the game.

Favortism shouldn't be part of the game.

Ejecting four Angels for spouting off to the refs? Really? Yet the guy who threw the ball, approached the plate, and spouted off to the refs doesn't get anything?

Because he's a very good pitcher?

BS... favoritism plain and simple.

The problem is that 4 players from the Angels were ejected for barking at the ump, yet a guy who A.) Threw a ball at a player's head... B.) Approached home plate.... C.) Barked at the ump... did not get ejected.

Say what you will, but MLB must have it's priorities mixed up if 4 Angel players got ejected... they are more concerned with the Ump's feelings I guess.
