There's about to be some serious destruction tonight. The leader has a 47 game hit streak and has Bogaerts tonight. He's 0-3 and in the middle of his final AB.
Not really.. Zaun also said that Pillar hit Herrera's foot which was illegal when it is not if the infielder's leg is in within reasonable proximity of the sliding lane going into the bag. You can clearly see Pillar didn't hit his foot intentionally.
The rule states that contact is still allowed if initiated with a legal slide. Pillar's biggest problem on that play is that he barreled instead of staying down and taking his legs out, while not sliding past the bag of course.
