So, about that Utley slide...
[close]

Don't wussify the MLB like the NFL. In five years we'll have pitchers wearing masks and nets to prevent fans from getting hit by foul balls.

Shame Tejada got hurt. But Utley effectively won the game for his team. ANY player would've done the same in the playoffs. It's engrained in baseball culture.

Now I do think there at least needs to be an attempt to tag the base. The Kang injury was actually more controversial in my eyes, because the baserunner was so far off the basepath.

I agree that it was a rough but a legit slide, that's old school baseball for you. At least he didn't go spikes in like they used to! That was just bad positioning by Tejada, not necessarily his fault... he was thinking double play all the way and got twisted around. He wouldn't have had a chance for that second out. Best believe there will be repercussions for that down the line.

Similar to the Matt Holiday take out of Marco Scutaro in 2012, though Scutaro didn't fracture a fibula. Yikes.

Here's hoping that pisses off the Mets and motivates them to dominate these last two games, they beat 1 of the 2 aces so the ball is in their court. Plus, if all is going well put a fastball in Utley's ear while you are at it.

I agree no way was that a dirty play I smell a rule change coming soon

BallDontLie · « **Reply #183 on:** October 12, 2015, 02:15:00 PM »

That's 2 the bullpen gives away

HyperBeam · « **Reply #184 on:** October 12, 2015, 03:43:44 PM »

pretty dirty slide. utley hardly even dropped to the ground before barreling into tejada.

That's overdoing it a bit.

They're doing LA a favor, Utley can't hit a beachball thes days. I wonder how Utley even got on base to start with

Houston is in BIG trouble, total meltdown. My dreams of Texas vs Houston is going south quickly, Toronto just tied the series..

CUBS! And holy shit, that blast from Schwarber! So stoked tonight!!

Silky Johnson · « **Reply #187 on:** October 13, 2015, 11:31:39 PM »

Congrats Cubbies

Glue Reed · « **Reply #188 on:** October 14, 2015, 03:47:12 PM »

Mets blew it big time... now they gotta go back to LA to face Greinke. They have DeGrom on the hill, but still, other than game 3 their bats have been pretty silent.

Congrats Cubs.

Royals/Astros tonight is gonna be a straight up brawl. Can't wait to see who comes out!

Fucking Toronto. They're really trying to beat out that whole "polite Canadian" thing. What a bunch of classless fucking assholes.

Care to explain? I'm at work so I'm just checking the score online.

Tracer · « **Reply #190 on:** October 14, 2015, 05:51:59 PM »

typical rangers chokery. with all those hitters, buying up every possible pitcher.. losing 3-2 is unacceptable, and typical toronto their fans and stadium are trash

Glue Reed · « **Reply #191 on:** October 14, 2015, 06:46:30 PM »

yeah I was pulling for the Blue Jays but that was really shitty... Umps made the right call and people lost their shit. What a mess. Still, congratulations Jays.

Depending on what the Royals do we could be looking at an all blue MLCS!

if you haven't seen it this was the 7th:

BallDontLie · « **Reply #192 on:** October 14, 2015, 07:52:34 PM »

It's done. If our bullpen wasn't so shitty, this could've been a different series. Still a hell of a season.

CINCINNATI · « **Reply #193 on:** October 14, 2015, 08:05:33 PM »

sticking with my prediction from august. blue jays and mets.

Glue Reed · « **Reply #194 on:** October 14, 2015, 08:29:02 PM »

congrats to the Royals (drink one Hate!)

Also congrats is due to the Astros, who far far far succeeded their expectations for the season. Hope you guys make some minor bullpen tweaks and come out stronger next year.

Everybody is waiting on you, Mets....

French manicure · « **Reply #195 on:** October 14, 2015, 08:43:19 PM »

Cueto was money tonight. Congrats Hate! and the other Royals fans.

GoodguyEh · « **Reply #196 on:** October 14, 2015, 08:45:27 PM »

pretty shitty seeing Toronto trash their own stadium. I was at Dundas square during that call and for a second I thought it was gonna be the Vancouver riot T.O style

French manicure · « **Reply #197 on:** October 15, 2015, 02:36:57 PM »

Damn, Addison Russell is out for the NLCS.

Tracer · « **Reply #198 on:** October 15, 2015, 02:55:55 PM »

Monster game in LA, it will be the most watched game of the year.

Fully on the Mets bandwagon, they need to get Greike out of the game early, only way to win.

ice nine · « **Reply #199 on:** October 15, 2015, 03:17:01 PM »

i dont get why toronto fans threw a ton more shit on the field after bautista hit the home run. that was dumb, still an awesome moment for canadian bandwagon baseball

chilllyboy · « **Reply #200 on:** October 15, 2015, 08:47:11 PM »

whats up with toronto fans throwing beers on babies... That some sort of old curling tradition?

Glue Reed · « **Reply #201 on:** October 15, 2015, 09:37:05 PM »

Spool of Chord, that one was for you baby!!!

Amazing game 5, close right down to the wire. Congrats to the Mets!!

Been an awesome post season so far.. I'm pulling for Mets/Royals in the World Series so let's do this.

Big Skatefase · « **Reply #202 on:** October 15, 2015, 10:17:25 PM »

this whole jose bautista bat flip controversy is so corny. these unwritten baseball rules are lame and outdated. if dude hits a huge home run, let him celebrate. don't want him to celebrate? throw a better pitch next time.
