So they suspend Utley for an illegal slide which is deserved for what he did, but is there anything in the rule book on what constitutes a legal slide?

 

[Line_HTX]

Damn, I wanted a Grand Slam so bad. Come on, Toronto.



Wow, Utley got the hammer.

 

[CygnusXS]

No problem with this at all.

I'm just shocked they did it.

Sucks though, I wanted Mets fans to let him have it.

Im glad Torre reacted quickly to this. Now we can all move on to the next game.

 

[rinse82]

Yes Marco

Torre basically saying it should have been interference, which would have been an inning-ending double play. Sigh.

I know this pain, Mets fans

Still payback to be had.

A legal slide is one aimed at a base and not a player. It is also made well in advance of the base and not when the runner is already at said base.

EDIT: Utley only gets two games?

 

[criesofthepast]

Gibbons just called Martin Navarro FAT.

 

[rinse82]

Can Estrada start on 0 days rest?

 

[Sanjuro]

Oh, Joe.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

The suspension is too little too late.

 

[pestul]

Can Estrada start on 0 days rest?

Word.

 

[Line_HTX]

LOL I can't believe I missed the Harold comments on Canadian fielding.

Can't breathe.

 

[The Elite]

Finally saw that slide.

That was shit. I'm sure Zaun loved it.

 

[BumRush]

So the slide was illegal.

 

[dork]

Thank God Chase got suspended. Absolute stupidity last night.

Yup. Their had to be a punishment, maybe molina and holliday will get the memo

 

[shwimpy]

Saw that coming. Hopefully they kick out and suspend whichever Met decides to retaliate.

 

[The Elite]

So the slide was illegal.

He doesn't start sliding until he's parallel with the bag. That should be illegal in some rule book.

 

[GK86]

Saw that coming. Hopefully they kick out and suspend whichever Met decides to retaliate.

Well worth the suspension.

Joe Torre was a Met, no one should take his opinion seriously.

So it would have been 2-1 Mets going into the next inning rather than 5-2 Dodgers.

Excuse me I'm trying to hold in my need to vomit.

 

[The Elite]

Jays need to keep pouring it on. Who is pitching for the Rangers?

Edit: Perez back?

Take advantage.

 

[Josh5890]

Wow, I'm a little surprised that Torre suspended Utley. I wonder how the MLBPA will respond.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I remember the days of growing up and playing tee-ball and baseball in Canada. It was hard to run in snowshoes and slide into frozen bases, and pretty hard to hit ground balls in the snow, but we made it work.

At least we had a heater in our dugout igloo.

#FuckyouReynolds

Did you run around the bases or skate around them?

 

[User 479360]

We played outfield in snowshoes and skated around the bases. Duh

Utley deserved the suspension

 

[Frozenprince]

Saw that coming. Hopefully they kick out and suspend whichever Met decides to retaliate.

Nobody should retaliate. Baseball's unwritten rules are idiocy.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Saw that coming. Hopefully they kick out and suspend whichever Met decides to retaliate.

lol, nothing is gonna happen.

 

[The Elite]

Heads up Pillar.

Heads up.

Perez yes!

Pillar nice awareness!!!

[Kave_Man]

Got a gift.

Score him now!

 

[The Elite]

That was an awkward fucking bunt. Worked though.

 

[joeygreco1985]

My friends are screaming bloody murder over that missed balk call in Texas

 

[criesofthepast]

Wow small ball who woulda thunk that works eh?

Ouch fuck you Utley cunt bag. Just saw the replay.

 

[Kave_Man]

Put it where it needed to be. Pushed far enough up that the third baseman had to field it and not cover his base.

 

[The Elite]

I am not even sure the Jays dugout noticed it. Didn't see anything from them.

 

[CosmicQueso]

These 'Mericans obviously want Texas to win.

Please tell me you're joking Chewie.

 

[DopeyFish]

fuuuuuuccckkkk

 

[Kave_Man]

Fucking hell!

Odor again!

 

[rinse82]

You've gotta be kidding me.

Worst luck.

 

[The Elite]

FUCKING ODOR.

 

[BumRush]

I know. I'm just still in shock that it happened and last night they tried to say it was hard, clean baseball.

 

[eyeless]

[Lexxism]

FU Odor

 

[criesofthepast]

OMG EAT A BAG OF DICKS ODOR I HATE YOU SO MUCH
