Beckett suspended 6 games

How is it possible for a pitcher to be suspended when he wasn’t thrown out? When the umpires feel the pitch wasn’t intentional?

Josh Beckett, as reported on SportsCenter, has been suspended for six games for “throwing” at Bobby Abreu. As I mentioned here, how could it possibly be intentional?

This will definitely be appealed, so Beckett won’t miss his next start. I wouldn’t be surprised if the appeal was downgraded to less than five games, which means he misses no games.
