King of Birds October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 I don't care to define what is a dirty slide vs what is a tough-nose hard slide. Utley NEVER touched the base! For the Dodgers to have "won" that challenge is what's baffling to me. Most times if there is a close play to review, the player himself will stay on the field and point to the dugout to signal "challenge" - but Utley never even did that. He knew what he did, he took out the double play. For the umps to "give back" the out and award a runner the base? What world are we living in? It was a take-out play. Utley was out, he knew he was out, he left the field. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/45/#findComment-1590369

ratgirlagogo October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 Wow, this morning ESPN didn't even mention the fact that Utley never touched the base. On Baseball Tonight Alex Cora said flat out "that wasn't a slide, that was a tackle" and said how it pissed him off that people were saying that Utley was an "aggressive" player, as though Tejada and everyone else weren't playing aggressively. Dallas Braden instantly defended Utley and that was it - so that doesn't surprise me about ESPN. It just seems like shit umpiring though. I don't get it. Either Utley was trying to slide into the base and never touched it - and he's out. Or he was trying to break up the DP so neighborhood play should have been called - I thought preventing things like this is what neighborhood play was for. Even Joe Torre seemed confused about what the rule in question was- he kept turning around to the ump guy behind him at the press conference to clarify. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/45/#findComment-1591024

xaxat October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 The problem with retaliation now is that the umps are looking for it. So if Harvey hits Utley, warnings go out.

Mittengirl October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 (edited) For a guy with a broken bone in his leg, Tejada seemed awfully calm and relaxed. I was beginning to think he was faking the injury, I just couldn't figure out why. But that made more sense than the rest of that play. I still can't figure out why Utley was called safe. He never touched the base and he ran off the field. How can he be safe? Has the world gone mad? Why did the Mets not seem to care? Sparky Anderson or Billy Martin would have been out there foaming at the mouth, but Collins seemed detached from it all.

ratgirlagogo October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 (edited) I am biased as well - but even so as I said above I think in the normal course of things there were only two possible things happening here and in both cases Utley should have been out. Honestly his "slide" would have landed him well into center field if he hadn't collided with Tejada. Mr Rat was choleric that Utley should have been suspended, but as I said I think the real villain here is the shit umpiring that nobody (and not just the Mets) wants to challenge. Still, I reiterate. I am way less interested in seeing Harvey bean Utley than watching the Mets wipe the floor with the Dodgers.

Everybody knew he was going to get hit . . . and the pitcher missed him. Yeah, even with that big butt of his, the pitch was about a foot behind him.

Moose135 October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 Utley appeal unlikely to be heard today The appeal of Dodgers infielder Chase Utley's two-game suspension is unlikely to be heard before Monday night's Game 3 of the National League Division Series, according to a source. Major League Baseball requested an expedited hearing in hopes of having the issue resolved before Game 3. However, Utley's representatives and the Major League Baseball Players' Association asked for time to prepare their case, which would make Utley eligible to play until a hearing takes place. He'd still have to face the Mets and their fans no matter where the game was played. Yes, but if he was suspended for these two games in NY, it "defuses" things, the next time he would have the chance to play would be in a potential game 5 in LA, where the reception wouldn't be quite so ugly. Doesn't matter where he faces the Mets next, someone needs to put a fastball in his ear. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/45/#findComment-1594595
