running path to specifically run into Walker. Why can't they just make the runners slide into the bag??? I mean, can it be any easier to eliminate this shit?
If I was the defender, I'd jump to avoid the tag and then make sure to come down with my cleats in the runners face. Knock out a few teeth and see if the slide like that again.

Rule 6.01(i) -- Sliding to Bases on Double Play Attempts
If a runner does not engage in a bona fide slide, and initiates (or attempts to make) contact with the fielder for the purpose of breaking up a double play, he should be called for interference under this Rule 6.01. A "bona fide slide" for purposes of Rule 6.01 occurs when the runner:
(1) begins his slide (i.e., makes contact with the ground) before reaching the base;
(2) is able and attempts to reach the base with his hand or foot;
(3) is able and attempts to remain on the base (except home plate) after completion of the slide; and
(4) slides within reach of the base without changing his pathway for the purpose of initiating contact with a fielder.
A runner who engages in a "bona fide slide" shall not be called for interference under this Rule 6.01, even in cases where the runner makes contact with the fielder as a consequence of a permissible slide. In addition, interference shall not be called where a runner's contact with the fielder was caused by the fielder being positioned in (or moving into) the runner's legal pathway to the base.
Notwithstanding the above, a slide shall not be a "bona fide slide" if a runner engages in a "roll block," or intentionally initiates (or attempts to initiate) contact with the fielder by elevating and kicking his leg above the fielder's knee or throwing his arm or his upper body.
If the umpire determines that the runner violated this Rule 6.01(j), the umpire shall declare both the runner and batter-runner out. Note, however, that if the runner has already been put out then the runner on whom the defense was attempting to make a play shall be declared out.
because he was not going to allow his team not to pay back Utley.
If Collins had taken care of business in the first game with a 5-1 lead, then Thor does not have to do it on his own and does not get tossed and Mets maybe win the game.

Agreed. Have no issue with Thor doing what he did. That said, I still can believe he got tossed for it. How come Bush wasn't ejected after beaning Bautista? Or Hughes after he threw at Donaldson, twice??? He didn't even get a warning!!! Complete bullshit... and it fucked us of any chance of winning last night.

The lack of consistency is really the thing. For some reason, baseball wants to protect this little fuck Utley.

He did nothing, settled nothing, and the game was lost. If you want to hit him, hit him. Scared of killing him? Buzz him. His heart was in the right place, I'll give him that.
That's great. Maybe he can get the rest of this AAA lineup to hit the ball? Lol.
Lol, true dat.
Thor had to ignore his pussy manager to take matters into his own hand. Good for him.

Thor certainly took care of business, no regrets there.

Mets have to take care of business themselves.

The LA manager with a headscratcher.
He's not even close. And should be out of this game. But Terry is, well, Terry.
