Re: Chase Utley suspended 2 games for dangerous slide
The problem is the umpires don't enforce the rule. It's still good old hard nosed baseball to some people. You should be sliding hard into 2nd base to break up a double play. However, you should not be sliding at a players feet after the bag with the intent on blasting an already vulnerable fielder to do it. Tejada actually took additional steps out of the base path as he turned to throw and Utley targeted him still. That's where the umpire needed to step up and make the call...don't give me but it's the playoffs bullshit either.
