throwing at hitters.
And I'd never throw at the head. But that slide was dirty.
A slide has to go to the bag, not the player. The "slide" was late, it was more like hurling himself at the player, than sliding into a base.
While i'm on my baseball soapbox, the "in the vicinity" rule for a force at second is a bad joke. If the player doesn't touch the base, the runner is safe. Tag the freaking base.
FTR, I want the dodgers to win. I don't like the mets and from what I hear, I think Kershaw is this generation's Koufax.
Utley should have been kicked out of the game and suspended for the rest of the post season.
The mets should throw at utley next game. I don't like

If you bend over backwards long enough,
eventually you'll fall down.

I'd throw at Utley, too, if the game situation warranted it. Hell, I might throw at A-Gon or Joc, as well. Utley's been a dirty player for a long time, and I'm traditionally one of those people who doesn't like baseball's "unwritten rules", "the code", etc.

Dirty ex-Philly, Chase Utley tried to tak out Ruben Tejada in a similar play a few years ago. Harvey purposefully threw at Utley in a game this spring, as the Mets and Phillies had altercations throughout the year. I hope his suspension is reversed and Harvey drills him again (with a 6 run lead).oaktonhokie wrote:throwing at hitters.

Re the "neighborhood play," that is supposed to be unreviewable. The ump called the dirty player ex-Philly out, and Tejada was trying to turn a double play. The dirty player should not have been ruled safe.
Right on everything else, but wrong on removing the neighborhood play. Middle infielders would get killed.
Update: Good news - dirty ex-Philly player may play tonight. Hope he knows a good dentist in the city.
