Holy shit Torre. Didn't see that coming

easy to suspend a guy who is not a starter. if this was 2009 and Utley is hitting 3rd in the Phils lineup no way he suspends him.

what's next suspending Arrieta for throwing at the guy the other night?

I don't see anything wrong with it. Sure it was a little late but he was close enough to the bag. That play happens every single day. It was bad luck that he broke his leg

Agree.

If Tejada doesn't get hurt this is probably a non-story. MLB Network just showed some slides similar to Utley's(but no player got hurt) and there was no suspension.

Stupid, Jays

SPEEDY MCCREADY

Looks like Holland brought his A game.

UGHHH!

thought this was pretty cool on local news site. #1 song on radio when each of the teams in the playoffs last won the World Series.

Mattingly should win Manager of the Year for winning the division with these bums

I don't know why they made the Dodgers the favorites in this series? They only have 2 maybe 3 players to be scared of and 2 are pitchers. But the Mets have the pitchers to match. And a better offense. Hopefully Kershaw can pitch a complete game shutout. Because that's what it's going to take to get to game 5.

mini comeback at the end there.

Pics 2 and 3 the second basemen is making an attempt to get the runner out at first/
Also, were the runners in pics 2 and 3 out or safe?

Not a Mets fan, just sayin

I'd say the former part of your point is irrelevant, and at the same time speaks to the problem with the latter of your point. So I'd put it like this:

1 - The purpose of taking the guy out at 2nd is to either extend the inning or score a run, which LA did.

2 - Both would be a judgment call by the umps, yes? Replay or otherwise?

As I saw written somewhere else that a manager was quoted saying - something along the lines that if Buster Posey didn't have terrible form of blocking the plate this would even be less of an issue today. Now it's a matter of "oh, if you can protect the catcher at the plate, what about the other bases?" Such a dumb rule.

apparently, there's a rule in place....should have been called two outs....everybody happy; no need for a suspension.

Go.....cards, mets, astros and rangers.

If it's ok for the Mets to be outraged then shouldn't the Pirates be even more since their starting shortstop was taken out by the team that beat them in the playoffs in a play even further from the base than Utley's.

My point is that a lot of people are not upset that Utley slid the way he did, but that he was called safe when he never touched the bag.

Adds insult to injury.
