So basically what MLB said is that Utley never got the chance to try and retouch 2nd because of the call on the field.

 

Which is true, but stupidly assumes that Tejada wouldn't have just tagged him out if the ump said he missed the base.

Christ almight Eric Byrnes is dumber than a bag of hammers.

i love pedro so much

[Irrelevant Dude]

Pedro is getting it right. Good for him.

yep dusty defending it

[NonProfitCow]

holy [expletive]

 

Dusty's actually got it right

[imb]

well he defended it for 5 seconds and then reversed course, all that's missing is a fishing story

[Isaac Vines]

That throw is not what caused Tejada to miss the bag. The bag was easily in his reach and he could have extended his leg another inch to touch the base. The only reason he didn't was because he had to avoid Utley and turn two. That is the very definition of the neighborhood play. What a blown call.

pretty much everyone other than cal knows it was bad.

Sheffield is victim blaming.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Pedro is on fire.

I can't believe anyone is defending that slide. I say next time Utley does some non sense like that again, I support the SS doing a Liu Kang style flying kick, cleat first, into Utley's face. Bonus points for bicycle kicks if they were thinking ahead and holding low kick.

am i missing the conclusive evidence of tejada not touching the bag?

[ARCubsFan]

Holy [expletive] Gary Sheffield is the worst. Blamed Tejada for getting hurt and said it was a clean play.

 

Pedro on the other hand is my favorite thing ever.

Pedro should replace all ex-athlete talking heads on all networks for everything, forever. LOL. The 180 Gary just did is [expletive] ridiculous.

Bottom line, none of that touched the base crap even matters. As soon as that play happened, this rule is what came to mind, and the Mets should have been out of the inning. There is zero argument against this, and if MLB does anything but come out and say that they messed up and both runners should have been called out, it is a [expletive] disgrace.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Wow, Terry Collins was incredibly soft with his comments.

[Sammys Boombox]

I know many have already said it, but if that sequence of events happened to the Cubs I would probably have holes in my walls.

[Thurman Merman]

And to add to that, I am 100% against throwing at people and [expletive] of that nature in baseball, but in this one instance, I would make an exception for a cleats up slide right into Utleys knee.
