This whole thing is the baseball equivalent of the last 2 minutes of the Wake-BC football game.
Just catching up.... so Chuts was called safe and scored the winning run? Mets better figure out what they did to anger the baseball gods.
If the roles were reversed, all the mets fans would be defending their player. Its a baseball play, it sucks someone got hurt - its happened before, it will happen again.
Utley has dealt with the crowd in Queens plenty. This isn't even the first time he's been called out for a takeout slide against the Mets. He has a career OPS of .904 at Citi. I'm just bummed that he won't have the opportunity to respond to the fans by placing a ball in Utley's Corner.
Hopefully the suspension will put any plunking calls to rest.
Fun fact, Matt Harvey has hit Chase Utley three times. Chase is the only player Harvey has hit more than once.
