I feel for you, Mets GAF, but this is excellent drama for the neutrals.

A friend of mine said that the Neighborhood Play isn't reviewable... but didn't they just review it?

Chase Utley better not step onto a NYC subway...
Seriously. He entered John Rocker levels of hate.

the slide doesn't even have to be illegal for the mets to be outraged. that didn't even really affect this particular game. it wasn't going to be 2 anyways.
they should be outraged because utley obviously never touched the base, and that allowed 3 runs to score. the dodgers were given the game.

I really.... can't see that being legal ever. It barely was a slide, didn't even pretend to go for the bag

Rule was explained. Umpire can reverse a call if they made it incorrectly, and put a runner back on base even if he didn't touch.
Time to settle down, Mets and Giants GAF.

No argument from me over that. It was.
Apparently it is if the throw is never made to first.
And I guess it's cool to just walk off the field without ever touching the bag, or something.
Now he entered? That dude has been on my shit list for years. Would drill him every game if I could.

what is the literal rule? i saw above someone said you can't slide that late but what is the verbatim quote from the rulebook?
p.s.
im not saying it wasn't illegal, im genuinely curious. seems like a rule like that would be impossible to enforce

We can get 4 runs. It's not over yet!
And it was a terrible explanation (neighborhood especially). Plus it doesn't explain Utleys "slide"...

Calm down? The rule is basically "the umps arbitrarily decide what is and is not applicable"
Fuck that.
Fuck that.

haha cal. stop.
Yeah i was thinking it was that, if no one touch the bases then the base is awarded to the runner.
I don't think there is actually a rule against these ridiculous slides into second, which is a problem. The rule needs to be changed so that you have to slide to the bag, and obvious takeout moves should be met with ejections. I don't understand how they could they could change the home plate collision rule but the second base takeout slide is still "part of the game."
Yea and it still doesn't make any sense when they explained it. They said because they got the neighborhood call wrong he gets put back at second, but he never actually touched it. It sounds like the rule is for when the play actually goes cleanly and they get it wrong, not whatever that fucking garbage was.

I hated him because of how good I thought he was.
He lost his swing and now he's doing bush league shit.

I see stuff in the NBA playoffs go under the definition of hard playoff foul all the time. I can't compare the two that well but if something like that happened in basketball someone gotta get knocked the eff out.
They can call it interference

They weren't able to, apparently.

Because the rule was explained and they saw that they were wrong.
It's still fair to be mad at how dirty that slide was and how stupid the rule is, especially considering it could cost the Mets the game.

Yea. What is with the crew not saying what they really think. The others are just talking around it.
He slid right at the base and on the ground which is technically legal under Hal McRae rule so yeah it's legal. Doesn't make it not a POS move though.

Sure, I totally understand being upset about their guy getting injured and maybe losing the game.
But the rules are the rules in the book.
If Tejada was facing in the opposite direction it would of ended much cleaner. The fact that he was on his backside making a turn made it look like that.
It's a hard, clean play.

I can't handle Fedora Russell Martin. It's making me hate him.
What?? I understand taking away head on collisions for the catcher or slides that are just obviusley bad, but slides to break DP? No way.
MLB is calling the play a force play and not neighborhood play. That is the reason they can review it.

Going for tejada and not attempting anything to get to the bag is a clean play?
Going for Tejada is what you do when trying to break double plays? Yes.
As long as you're at arm length of the bag you're clear.

NO IT IS FUCKING NOT. He aimed for his knee, he aimed so deliberately he DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THE BAG.
That what you do to break up DP....
He was called incorrectly out thats why he went to the dogout
