What the fuck is wrong with people?

To be fair, you won require and fast reaction time or much skill at all for this trick. notice the net has a hole so it only allow it to hit precisely this one place at this set speed. rest you just time you sword draw base on for example sound of the machine, when the ball is loaded etc. and you dont know how many…

Classic Deadspin. Always the first to expose others, but it’s okay when you guys make blog posts mostly cut-and-pasted from press releases.

DEADSPIN REPORTER’S HEADLINE APPEARS TO MISS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “CUT” AND “COPIED”

Why should this matter to me? Or anyone else who reads stuff on the internet

THE WORST REPRESSION OF FREE SPEECH IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND

I’m at the game and it’s currently 13-4. I’ve been going to Mets games for a long time - longer than I care to admit - and I’m not sure Queens has ever been like this. Even when Endy was being Endy.

Tom Ley hates something. Imagine by big surprised face.

I don’t agree. Stealing bases is, and should be, a hard thing to do. Staying in contact with the base is part of what makes that hard. If you don’t do it, you’re out.

Utley is not getting hit tonight. Or at all in this series as a matter of fact. The Mets are not going to put their season at risk and put a runner on base to get even. They’ll wait until next season.

Honestly, it’s a perfect storm:

We’ve always had variable punishments based on the outcome. It's all over the legal system and society in general. The sad thing is that MLB hasn't taken a stronger stand against bullshit plays like this unless they injure someone.

He didn’t start to slide until he was nearly past the base. People can say he was ‘playing hard,’ ‘gritty’ or ‘tough’ all they want, but Utley did not make one ounce of effort to actually touch the base. He was on a mission to send Tejada flying to prevent the DP. Mattingly playing the hand of New York Media…

The result of the play absolutely matters as does the wanton lack of any pretense to sliding into second base as did his complete lack of remorse in his post-game interview.

When you put up the guise of actually trying to slide into second base, that’s fine.

So MLB should suspend umps for missing calls at full speed.

this is literally the dumbest thing I have read today.

Agreed.

It was never a slide.

2 games? I get it is the playoffs but if the mlb was serious about player safety then he should be out for at least the whole postseason. This is the kind of crap that needs to be erradicated from mlb. You suspend a guy for juicing 50 games and then you have a player take out another during a key moment in a playoff…
