He was in the basepaths before the "cry baby Buster Posey rule" was enforced same thing applied for catchers.

Utley did what he needed to do. There was no way that DP would probably have been converted. I agree with Sean on this. Utley also never tagged second haha.

Regardless if the play was called correctly or not, there is no reason for fans to resort to throwing beer bottles. There are no excuses, is classless, and undeserving of celebrating going to the Series let alone winning it. " Joey Bats " needs to act like he's hit a home run before. Classless move also, throwing the bat and showing up the opposing pitcher. Bigger and more meaningful homers have been hit before, without drawing attention to themselves like Bats did.

This thread went 100 different directions. Each poster going on a diatribe ignoring the post before it. Reminiscent of the old Facebook political posts. We all take a position and thats the end of it. Totally useless.

If I'm Mattingly I pinch run Utley late in the game.

Utley now has the entire off season to practice base running . He can start by watching tapes of the Mets' Murphy's heads up brilliant base running last night...although I am sure he got a real good look at it the first time from the dugout.

with how the game is being played, utley did nothing wrong. obviously he didn't mean to break the guy's leg, but being an infielder tejada should've known to protect himself better. that was a very awkward attempt (and plant foot) to turn an impossible double play. with the game situation tejada should've known better, 100% of baserunners would've come in that hard.

handing out the suspension is a stupid and a reactionary move by MLB....just make another "buster posey" rule then if you want to protect infielders, as is utley doesn't deserve any suspension.
