I didn’t like it, but nobody got hurt and the end result is still the most important thing.

Good thing Simmons is ok.

Juan Pablo Martinez will start out in the Domiican Summer League for now.

Poll: Was Odor slide last night dirty?

Scale from 1 to 10

1- Hard legal and clean
5- Borderline -----Within the rules but spike up. Let it slide (sic)
10- Filthy------------ Suspend him MLB!!!

7-8 range. The part to me that I was fed up with was our announcers defending it. Send them to Chicago.

Post 31 has video

My post last night was right after it happened. I saw it and did not like it. Punk play. We lost. Go and get ready for the next night. Glad players are protected some from a serious injury. CJ and his light crap can take a hike.

Odor spikes Simmons on slide; tempers flare

Tough guy CJ needs to put a sock in it.

Ok I have no problem with a guy breaking up a double play so long as the cleats are down. I do think the rules have softened too much at home plate.

Surely the catcher is entitled to part of the plate when taking a throw especially from Left field Conversely when taking a grow from Right the catcher should have some protection and not get mugged by runner like Pete Rose did.

I was taught to take out the second baseman but to do it with ankle. Really needed for umps to be smarter and use more common sense. If Simmons is injured and out for a game then I would not object to Odor losing one game. But if no harm no foul then best to let it go IMO

I think the rules changed because of the buster posey incident.

I think it was Chase Utley injuring Ruben Tejada with a slide in a playoff game.

I believe you're both correct. Posey changed the catching rule, Utley the basepaths rule.

I know it’s been a rough season and we don’t have anything to play for or much hope, but I’m glad people still post here.

I think we would have a higher level of engagement if the team was good.

We have lost some really good posters. Really don't know why. Hope they see it clear to return.

Odor needs to be suspended for that slide

I don't think so. The guys I;m thinking of are serious sports people that don't run from off years. Most of them don't hit and run. Saddles is a good example of the type guys I'm talking about and of course we all know Bennie is certainly active for our good. I miss Murph, Daryl Gann, Romeo, Rev,UK Cowboy, Winding My Watch, The Ranger Dude just to mention a few. These guys are good baseball posters that have lots of knowledge that everyone can learn from. I'm done. Sorry if I bored ya.

I think, after seeing it on replay only, it was a cheap-ass-slide. But suspendable, naw.....Now, tonight's game is on edge due to this, and maybe that's the better-part-of-valor from baseballs standpoint, to suspend him......So I'm not saying you're wrong......But I sure would hate to turn this play into a long/longer standing bad blood between the two teams.

 

[donaldson79]

Sir....you didn't bore a soul here.....Promise.....If I'm wrong, then 'fuck-off the bored one's'........ha
