FIGURE THIS ONE OUT:?

ODOR (TEXAS); DONALDSON TORONTO; NAPOLIE (TEXAS) ALL TAKE OUT THE SHORTSTOP ILLEGALLY (SLIDING AFTER BASE) - BUT THEY RECEIVE NO SUSPENSION

BUT WHEN UTLEY DOES THE SAME - JOE TORRE (WHO PLAYED HIS CARRER AND MANAGED IN NY) SUSPENDS UTLEY FOR TWO GAMES - WHO HAPPENS TO PLAY FOR LOS ANGELES (WEST COAST)

I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH SUSPENSION OF UTLEY IF ALL OTHER THREE GET SAME SUSPENSION

ALTHOUGH, I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING MLB BASEBALL FOR 50 YEARS, AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A SUSPENSION FOR TAKING OUT SHORTSTOP - ESPECIALLY IN MIDDLE OF PLAYOFFS

AND THEY WANT TO ADOBDT NEW RULES FOR NEXT YEAR OK BUT THEY CAN NOT CHANGE RULES FOR ONE PLAYER ON ONE GAME

AND FOR THOSE WHO SAY IT'S BECAUSE METS SS BROKE HIS LEG - THAT IS BECAUSE HE WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO TURN HIS BAKE ON THE RUNNER

Bro how often have you seen a guy's season end with a broken leg due to a slide?

Probably good thing Utley got suspended as the Mets were not going to let him leave the ballpark this next game without a fast ball to the jaw. and he'd be fully deserving of it. His slide was more than just illegal. It was ruthlessly dangerous and a person move. He gets what he deserves and a 2 game suspension isn't nearly enough. That play should be investigated by the league for a malicious act against another player.

Do you have any idea what kind of PSI pressure it takes to break a human bone, especially one of an athlete thats usually larger from overtime callus buildup due to constant contact from running and jumping. 


Back turned even is less likely to break due to the calf muscle absorbing the pressure. It wasn't an on shin contact.

So just imagine the amount of force Utley put in to his tackle to cause the injury. 

There's no bias-ness when youtube is flooded with Utley tackle highlights from previous years. 

& Donaldson got hit in the head by a knee that jumped into him. Yes he slid into 2nd, but the fielder was running towards the base and leaped over him. Which means when he slid the player was away from him. 

Utley leaped towards player. Not the other way around man. 


I hate Torre just as much as the next guy. The suspension was a clear indication of MLB admitting they got the calls wrong and saying sorry to the METS. 


It had to be done.

Disagree.   Mlb network just showed 2 similar so called slides in this years playoffs and no action was taken.    The slide by holiday in 2012 was just as bad if not worse.   Don't see how you can single out Utley

in 2012 they were still running over catchers....and now were here.

2016 new rules will be implemented for sure. The game is evolving, to better prevent injuries. I don't believe any catchers got hurt this season 

Tejadad's season is over. That was the last straw I guess.
Pretty sure if they continue to do it more suspensions will come.


The other two incidents no severe injury occurred to warrant a smack down. But flags were raised leading up to this very moment and expect changes ahead.

There's a difference between a slide and a tackle. Utley threw himself into the guy. There was no slide.

Amazing how some of you folks don't get it.

what about when Kang got his season ended prematurely because of a hard slide into second? where was all the fuss and suspension from that? it's total BS that now they want to single someone out in the playoffs.

So, Doni13 calls the Mets shortstop stupid. Well, Doni13, look to your own house before you call ANYBODY Stupid ! In your letter, you spell Napoli incorrectly (You spelled it Napolie !), you spell "Adopt" incorrectly (Adobdt !), and "Back" is not spelled "Bake". And, in addition to your obvious lack of brains, Joe Torre, it must be pointed out, ALSO MANAGED THE DODGERS !!!  So, in conclusion, Doni13, I can believe that you have spent the last 50 years following baseball, because you certainly did not spend it in school.    Utley got off light !!!

AND FOR THOSE WHO FEEL SORRY FOR TEJEDA.....ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS TAKE THE OUT (THEN HE WOULD HAVE TOUCHED THE BASE) AND GET THE HECK OUT OF THE WAY........INSTEAD HE TRIES TO SHOW OFF TO AMERICA AND MAKE A FABULOUS PLAY,,,,,,,,WHICH HE HAD NO CHANCE ANYWAY.

I DO FEEL BAD HE IS HURT........BUT NO WAY SHOULD UTLEY (WHO I DON'T LIKE HE IS OVERRATED) SUSPENDED UNLESS ALL THE OTHER THREE ARE ALSO SUSPENDED.....PERIOD
