Contract year bro..

 

That was the feeling I got from it.

Officially Bautista violated the Utley rule...supposedly didn't try to stay on the base....WTF

 

Where'd you see this?

Yeah wish Edwin wore one there. I understand you want to hit the winning run but getting hit by a pitch ties the friggin game. It was 0-2 as well.

The ruling is here, Joey Bats blew it.

The problem is, the grabbing of the leg, which I agree is interference, falls under rule 7.09d:

 

 

 

The problem is, that rule is not reviewable. 6.14j (aka the Chase Utley rule) is the reviewable play here.

 

the interference rule is repeated in 6.14 so it makes it reviewable now. That's the explanation I was given. Wouldn't have been reversed last year

Jeez I knew the Jays were striking out a lot but I didn't realize how bad it was. Both Tulo and JD have struck out in half of their PA.

[Stangstag]

The big thing is that Jose slid PAST the bag. Runner needs to slide onto the bag and remain on the bag

I'm not worried. Edwin struck out a crazy amount of times last season in April and he was fine after

I'm not worried about Donaldson but Tulo does scare me a bit. I think the power numbers come back but last year his strike out rate surged and nothing I've seen this year (including ST) makes me think its going to change.

[G-Snarls]

LOL at guy on Jays talk last night suggesting Edwin wasn't "trying hard enough" to hit the ball yesterday. Comedic gold.

[RealAccountant]

I think a lineup with Edwin 5th and Tulo 3rd is way better

[G-Snarls]

I think a lineup with Edwin 5th and Tulo 3rd is way better

 

Meh

 

Both are really good hitters

 

Doubt it matters much

Edwin >/= Jose > Donaldson > Tulo
