I really can't believe they haven't banned take out slides considering all of the concussion controversies in sports.

edit: or if it's already technically illegal, then I can't believe they haven't issued a directive to actually follow the rules like the NCAA did with basketball refs.

So are the Mets going to throw to second like Darling was talking about? I didn't think the result of this review was even possible by rule??

I would hope Collins is continuing under protest.

Probably, but has that ever actually accomplished anything?

the last successful protest was in 2014 when the Giants got a rain-shortened game restarted

Cool, I don't remember that. I would still bet my life savings MLB wouldn't do poo poo in this scenario.

So it seems Collins couldn't have challenged Utley never touching the base (after breaking Tejada's leg). Apparently the rules allow for the replay official to place runners where they would have been if the call they're reviewing had been made correctly

gently caress baseball.

I'm so sick of players getting their bodies completely hosed up because baseball has all of this "history and tradition" of maiming each other.

There are other sports you can watch. American Football and Ice Hockey are both just getting their seasons started.

Baseball has always been my favorite sport, it just annoys me that they haven't addressed this issue.
