Absolutely not. I hope he keeps pitching that way so we can get something when we deal him though.

Yeah any Sox fan who is willing to flip flop on Beckett at this point is not a true fan. The guy has been a good pitcher on the time he has been here but he has become less of the bulldog he was back in 2007 and has become more of a diva.
The guy is a cancer and hopefully the pressure Red Sox Nation puts on him will only make him perform better.

That and .43 points of wOBA and 32 points of wRC+. WAR still puts to much value on the defensive part which isn't measured as well yet.

For a guy who is usually quick to point out small sample sizes you sure do seem willing to ignore the small sample size.

And WAR is all but useless to me at this point of the year. UZR is weighted too highly for a stat that needs a ton of data to give a reliable estimate.

I had to look this up because I had no idea what happened. Although he shouldn't really get anything I have a feeling they will. He did look like he was going to murder the ump though.

He was pissed as hell but there was 0 intent for that helmet to hit the ump. I bet the give him a game just for slamming the helmet. If there is anything more than that then it'll be BS.

Thats what I was thinking... I would bet on 1-3 games. He doesn't deserve more than one at most though. The thing is even though he had no intention on hitting the ump with his helmet the league has strict rules about protecting the umps.
Here is the video for those who haven't seen it
