Wtf at that hr!!
Holy shit. I turned the game off at that point because I don't need to get high blood pressure.
And that's with his top hand too.
If only he was a more consistent hitter...

What? I'm no Angels fan but putting one into dude's ribs was the least "bitchass" thing he could have done.
You're in the box, you're ready to hit.

Coghlan just killed Kang.
That blows.
Looks like an ACL.

True. Weaver could of done worse. Seager didn't need that much time. If it was Cory, maybe.

Walker had his 2nd piss poor throw of the inning. Was Coghlan just supposed to run into Kang? It's not like he went out of his way.
I am pretty livid and bummed about what just happened to a player who has been a joy to watch this year.

Clean slide according to baseball. Yeah it sucks that it caused an injury.

Dude there is nothing clean about that.

Maybe. But really it's kind of on the 2B. He let Kang out to dry and made him plant to make the throw.
Coghlan probably shouldn't have stuck his leg out.

It's on nobody. Kang came off the bag, if you come off the bag you shouldn't be targeted, period.
Coughlan probably just ended his year.

It's times like this that I remember FireJoeMorgan has been dead for 7 years now and now I miss it again.
There's still so much material like this to mine

In what world is that slide "clean"?
God dammit, Milo Hamilton died.
These tears... they just won't stop....
Holy Toledo what a legendary broadcaster...
That NLDS Game 4 Bottom 18th walkoff HR will always remain in my memory.

According to baseball unwritten rules, it's a clean slide as long as you can touch the base with your hand.
Looking at other stills Coghlan's knee hits Kang right below his kneecap, that doesn't bode well for this injury. Hoping for just a strain but even then it's Sept 17th, unless it wasn't as bad as it looked he's not going to be available in the playoffs.
I can't believe we're even discussing "clean slide" versus intent to injure. You can't even argue the dude doesn't know what happens when he does that. He does this despite ending a guy's career. At best it's reckless indifference to the harm he'll cause.

For reference, here's Coghlan destroying Akinori Iwamura's leg back in 2009.

I bought NLDS tickets today through The 7 Line Army presale and have never been more terrified in my life. Sigh.
Legal =\= Clean
Especially when you're whipping your leg up for no damn reason.

how much they going for? i need to get some tix myself
that's the worst part for sure
as long as you keep your legs down it won't seriously injure anybody, wherever the slide is

If the guy's on your team it's clean and gritty.
To everyone else, it's dirty with a probable intent to injure.

Kang was throwing from in front of the bag (throwing from behind prevents this) and made no effort to avoid the slide.
That said, it's legal, but not something I'd miss it it went away. Too much risk.

It's not clean, it's just something that is allowed.
To be fair, you're right. Someone should have told him he's up against a player like that so he'd know that five feet away from the bag isn't safe.
Coghlan probably couldn't see him because of that horrible camouflage uniform.
I see player jump all the time to avoid that kind of shit. Doesn't excuse doing it, but mitigates injury.

So gritty then. Like Pete Rose destroying Ray Fosse's career.
In an exhibition game none the less.
Some asshole is selling T7L tix for triple face value.

I disagree, the entire point of the slide is to mess up the double play and get the runner safe at first. The infielder who setup the play is at fault, not the runner. The thrower shouldn't be running 10 feet away from the bag either to make the throw.
Don't try and turn the DP/don't play INF, if you are worried about getting taken from underneath. Tag the bag and take the 1 out. It's part of the game.
Like you said, it's totally legal, and if MLB wants to correct what some people (wrongly) are calling bad intentions, then they need to fix the rule of "in the area" for INF. Obviously MLB thinks its fine because its been around forever.
Not directed at the fans that have been here. Directed at the bandwagon fans all around the GTA.
You get a pass because your avatar will forever be stuck in my head.

He's got some years to go to catch Julio Franco, 56 and playing/managing for the Ishikawa Million Stars.
