caulfield12 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 09:58 PM) Bryant having a really pedestrian year thus far. Not MVP numbers, but 18th or 19th in WAR (with Carlos Correa) is a touch better than pedestrian. Pedestrian would be a low 800's ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananarchy Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I don't think the play was dirty, but that should be an automatic out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely both dirty and shoulda been an automatic out. Maddon defending it the way he did was possibly worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a cheap shot because the catcher was not blocking the plate. rizzo had to go to the side of the plate to make contact. If he goes straight to the plate there is no contact.

LittleHurt05 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 MLB says Rizzo did violate the home plate collision rule and Torre will take a look at it to see if discipline is warranted. http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/rizzo-h...bs-rematch/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 07:33 AM) lol. okay. It's a violation of the rule but it's not particularly dirty. He started sliding and bailed In what way was that not dirty? Halfway down the line he was running in foul territory and when he collided with Hedges he was on the other side of the foul line. He clearly went out of his way to bowl Hedges over even though there was a clear path to the plate. I also didn't like how he acted like he did nothing wrong afterwards. I definitely lost respect for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why put a rule in place to protect the catcher and decide not to enforce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
