On the board in the first again. Good start!

That challenge in the 14th was bull crap. The guys foot came off the bag. It was pretty clear to me he was out. Huge call. Didn't guarantee a win or anything but it would have got the Jays another inning.
Pressure has shifted to the Astros. They MUST win game 3 with Keuchel.
He probably thought Dewey defeated Truman too.

The dude abides.
Jays back to T.O. for game 5. Looks like Strohman will get the start as Price pitched for 3 innings today.
I see the Governor of Texas tweeted out a congratulations to Houston for winning the series text... in the bottom of the 7th.![]()
The takeout slide needs to go. The base runner needs to stay in contact with second base. If he doesn't he should be ejected. Utley is a douschebag. You can't have guys getting hurt on something so stupid. Slide hard but to the bag at least.
I agree.
That slide was ridiculous. When you do something like that - basically injure someone outside of the rules or spirit of the game - I've always felt that you should be suspended for as long as the injured player is out plus some (plus 10 games or whatever).
Unfortunately, as Goodell found out, the leagues are pretty powerless against the unions and the unions would have none of it.
The takeout slider has always been a goddamn joke and should have been banned ages ago. That picture alone says it all for evidence why it needs to be banned. Absolutely zero reason to be going at a player like that that far off the bag. Congrats, you broke up a double play. Guess what, you also just ended another player's season by breaking his leg or destroying his ACL all on a fucking slide 10 feet off the bloody bag.
Chase Utley's lucky that A, it's the playoffs and the Mets are more focused on winning the series, and B, that he's not being put in the lineup last night and probably tomorrow. If this was regular season, first at-bat, he'd have a fastball coming straight for his head.
