first impression : Dirty play by Rizzo.

Nothing.

That won't stop baseball dopes from ignoring that and pretend they know better than MLB.

By the way, same type of slide also called safe in favor of the Pirates. http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2016/09/17/1170390583/1474084783466/asset_2500K.mp4

Originally Rueben Tejada said Utleys slide was a hard play you will always be pompous......maybe I'll post your pm to me to reveal what you really are

A seed at his knee tomorrow would be justified. But I do despise that sob.

It was a dirty play, i don't believe he's a dirty player

Rizzo is old school. Plays to win. If that is dirty, so be it.

Its not a dirty play. Sorry sox fans. I know you're upset. It's how baseball was played for 100 years.

Still a legal play, the way it happened.

It was dirty. He changed his path to create contact, which is a DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE RULE below:

Wrong. The umpire said no. And the review said no.

"He is a loathsome, offensive brute

I disagree. He changed his path.

He was still within reach of the base easily.

Clean, but he will still get a fastball in the ribs tomorrow for it.

This is basically a replay of the Coglan taking out Kang on the pirates 4 years ago minus the leg injury.

Rizzo will definitely enter the grey areas to win a baseball game. I don’t see Bryant making that same play. But I don’t believe he was trying to injury the catcher. He completed his intent that was breaking up a double play.

Again, if somebody did this to Contreras, Maddon would have went apeshit in the post game press conference.

Based on the way the Posey rule is written now, what Rizzo did is a violation and the umpires got it wrong.

And look Cubs fans, there is nothing wrong with saying this about the play; "Rizzo is not a dirty player, but he probably got away with one on that slide. It worked out for my Cubs and I'm happy about that, but a slide like that could hurt somebody"....because that is the truth.

_________________

As I said earlier, I thought it looked out of line. I am waiting to see if MLB clarifies because at this point the umps ruled it clean and the review ruled it clean. I hope to God they're not really going to allow those types of slides. The catcher has no chance to protect himself, and it's worse because his leg is planted. It's actually much worse than the slides into second where in those cases the fielder can see the runner coming at him.

And yes, if that happened to Willson I would be extremely pissed off.

Baseball play, not dirty. He was easily able to touch home plate, broke up double play. Lot of whiny bitches in here.

Nice to see some honesty prevails with Cub fans after watching a goon go after a defenseless guy's knee/leg when the he was planted, turned toward, and in the motion to throw to another base...from well out in front of (& not pointlessly blocking) home plate. Rizzo has earned a whole series full of bean balls if the now old school baseball aficionados want to be honest.

Gutless. And I wish Chapman was on the Pirates for a couple of days.

Malone may have been talking about Rizzo when he assessed Stone at the police academy

Nope. Totally clean play, breaking up the double play. Being at home plate doesnt change anything.

100% wrong. Maddon hates that rule and has defended guys using take out slides consistently since it's been in place.
