They have to start doing something about guys sliding late and going right into someones knee. Its a stupid fucking rule to just allow that, and I hate the Mets.

Yep. With all the other stuff they doing like for catchers is strange how that is still allowed when its that intentional.

 

[BumRush]

How is that legal? He didn't slide until he was passed the bag and he didn't touch the bag...

 

[timetokill]

Tejada is really playing this up

Neither guy touched the bag

Chutley got hit harder than Tejada

 

[Caja 117]

Welcome to MLB Tejada.

 

[the_firewithin]

Jogged off with no regard. Fuck Utley

 

[baxter2231]

Dirty play he slides at the bag thats inteteference. Disgusting, now we know how they play.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Utley is a disgusting piece of shit.

Dirty ass play. Fuck him.

That was dirty.

sorry guys but you do what you have to to win the game. I'm sure it wasn't pleasant for Utley either. also Tejada never touched the bag.

 

[Frozenprince]

How is that not interference?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I'd fuck his ass, break his back make him humble. Disgusting piece of shit.

 

[LJ11]

Expected from Utley, you aren't getting an easy turn if he's on the bases, every Met fan knows this.

Terry is an idiot, he still think Colon is a ground ball pitcher.

 

[Corran Horn]

Can they even challenge neighborhood call anyway or did that change?

 

[not psycho]

lol, didn't even go back to touch the base. That's a tackle, not a slide.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Knee injuries have ruined players careers.

 

[GnawtyDog]

So much disrespect for a FMVP and ring bearer....

Hard-nosed play...it's what it's.

 

[PROh1bited]

That's absolutely dirty. Napoli did the same shit yesterday, but no damage was done.

 

[GK86]

sorry guys but you do what you have to to win the game. I'm sure it wasn't pleasant for Utley either. also Tejada never touched the bag.

Bullshit.

 

[Jack Remington]

Tejada could have aborted the DP attempt and gotten out of the way. Part of the game. You aren't entitled to the DP just because of where the ball was hit.

 

[Frozenprince]

So much disrespect for a FMVP and ring bearer....

Hard-nosed play...it's what it's.

No it is fucking not.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I hope Utley got CTE from that collision.

 

[BumRush]

So much disrespect for a FMVP and ring bearer....

Hard-nosed play...it's what it's.

What are you talking about?

 

[Bunta]

sorry guys but you do what you have to to win the game. I'm sure it wasn't pleasant for Utley either. also Tejada never touched the bag.

I have no dog in the fight here. Even if that play is legal, that's some dirty shit. He didn't even make an attempt to slide into 2nd.

 

[17 Seconds]

that reminded me of the butt fumble.

 

[Maxim726X]

sorry guys but you do what you have to to win the game. I'm sure it wasn't pleasant for Utley either. also Tejada never touched the bag.

It has nothing to do with being pleasant.

It has to do with an action that could potentially injure someone. It's a dirty fucking slide and that's why it isn't done anymore. Fuck that cunt.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

so.... no player touched the bag. what now?

 

[SRTtoZ]

sorry guys but you do what you have to to win the game. I'm sure it wasn't pleasant for Utley either. also Tejada never touched the bag.

I don't blame Utley, I blame the league for allowing someone to go out of their way to take out a guys knees.

 

[Salty Catfish]

It's one thing to slide late, it's another to do it with absolutely no effort to even touch second base. Fuck that.

 

[CrocMother]

so.... no player touched the bag. what now?

He's out.

Technically I think it'd be a base running violation.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Can he run back and touch the base?

He's out anyway I guess.

 

[BumRush]

so.... no player touched the bag. what now?

He ran off the field. He's out.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Knee injuries have ruined players careers.

They ruined Utley's chances at the HOF, that's for sure.

 

[Frozenprince]

You don't square up on a guys knee, you eat the out and get in the way, get your arms up, don't take out his fucking knee with a slide so late you can't possibly justify it.

 

[DoktorEvil]

sorry guys but you do what you have to to win the game. I'm sure it wasn't pleasant for Utley either. also Tejada never touched the bag.

Imagine for a moment that was DJ turning that play and Utley threw himself in front of DJ that led to a serious career ending injury.

Fuck that. That isn't good baseball.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

so.... no player touched the bag. what now?

but tejada/utley touched when tejada had the ball so it's an out

don't really see a problem with him taking out tejada. aren't you supposed to try to break up double plays that way? it wouldn't have been as bad if tejada wasn't spinning around and going off his feet to try to make the throw

 

[billeh]

I thought you can't even review the "neighborhood" play, is it different in the playoffs?

 

[Loco4Coco]

I don't mind runners taking out defenders, but this was a late slide.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

How is that play legal? No attempt to even touch base.

 

[BumRush]

Wilmer going to homer.

 

[PROh1bited]

Wow, what an insult to injury.

 

[CrocMother]

but tejada/utley touched when tejada had the ball so it's an out

don't really see a problem with him taking out tejada. aren't you supposed to try to break up double plays that way? it wouldn't have been as bad if tejada wasn't spinning around and going off his feet to try to make the throw

I could be wrong but I think you have to touch him the with ball/glove to tag him out.

 

[GK86]

What? How is he safe?

 

[timetokill]

SAFE!!

I could be wrong but I think you have to touch him the with ball/glove to tag him out.

You're not wrong.

 

[richiek]

FUCKING UMPS. UTLEY NEVER TOUCHED SECOND.

 

[Marvie_3]

And they ruled him safe???? You gotta be fuckin kidding me.

 

[Frozenprince]

If these bullshit catcher safety rules are in there, there is NO REASON this shouldn't be an automatic out for the runner and an ejection from now on. This kind of bush league dirty shit has no place in baseball.

 

[rinse82]

Huh?

 

[Corran Horn]

What....

 

[lazybones18]

fuck outta here

 

[Loco4Coco]

Utley never touched the bag and left the field.

 

[Caja 117]

Imagine for a moment that was DJ turning that play and Utley threw himself in front of DJ that led to a serious career ending injury.

Fuck that. That isn't good baseball.

I wonder, does anyone knows how many carreer ending injuries have happen in baseball due to collition?

He is safe? WTF?

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Wait...how is he safe?
