pghost427 no you didn’t understand what I was saying.... 1:15 chase Sarcastically says he was going to break tejadas leg.... we know he wasn’t trying to break anyone’s leg.... but he did want to break up the double play and he definitely prepared himself to “slide” like that..... so that was on purpose and that was dangerous

It was a bit of a dated slide even at the time, but you're either rewriting history to support your argument, or you're just not aware that this was far more common than you think and you don't care to do a millisecond of fact checking. The social conscience of the play was definitely moving on, but I dare remind you Utley was called safe, in part because, yes, that was a baseball play.

[@Rytoast99]

@@elijahpfeifer6811it was legal at the time to slide on the edge of the basepath, and to slide past the bag. In the 80s and 90s dudes would basically tackle to break up a double play. The goal was never to injure but to disrupt. It was a lot more physical, kinda like how basketball was during that same period. Think of breaking up the double play as the handchecking of basketball. It used to be legal to smack a players hand as they are shooting or dunking or going for a layup, and today that would be a shooting foul. In both cases it was uninforced until something occurred which forced a clearly defined rule that bans it. For baseball it was the utley slide.

Chase Utley: *breaks players leg People talking to Chase: you broke his leg Chase Utley: Ok....and? He lost all respect from me that day, and he crossed the line from playing hard to playing dirty

[@theapologist6717]

Yeah, that was bad form on Chase. tbf to him though, part of it is a personality thing. Back when he was on the Phillies, players like Victorino, Howard, and especially Jimmy Rollins would endlessly mock and tease Utley for being a robot. You still gotta show more remorse than he did. For a player without a track record, in a high tense situation, when Tejada didn't do himself any favors with his choice of positioning, added in with the rule finally getting changed (Say what you want about Utley, but the fact that that was legal speaks WAY louder to me), the community could've forgiven Utley more then they did. But it's worth remembering everyone's range of emotions is different, and Utley's, according to teammates, is fairly low. (EDIT: Utley does have somewhat of a history, by no means has he never slid to break up DP's before, I meant it was never to an egregious level, particularly as a middle infielder who has to deal with it himself, mb that was poor phrasing)

[@Dr.Cravinmoorehead]

does anyone talk about the guy who ran into Posey completely defenseless??

[@brandan7095]

No they don't Mets fans just hate Utley because he was known as the Mets killer for 16 years and played on their biggest rivals team for 90% of his career. If anyone else did it we'd never talk about it other than saying it's unfortunate that it happened to tejada

Chase utley loves men

[@dumbstuffshortsandvids1848]

Sure that was so intestinal

[@macdunnels3040]

He was trying to say it wasn’t intentional to break his leg

[@joelhorlen20-zk3xr]

It could have been worse? Right, Tejada got off easy. He could have broken both legs and been knocked unconscious.

[@strongcloud28]

hmm, not "I"m sorry for breaking your leg" soo......he;s not sorry.

Very clumsy player. He let up a bit cuz he was scared to hurt himself. Should learn how to play the game properly. Being clumsy is not playing hard. Doesn't matter if it was intentional or not, the fact is his clumsiness ended another man's career and he sits there pretending like it's the game's fault. This guy is pathetic.

Chase Legley

[@pathsynes4443]

Dirty player!

[@trynadoitbig]

Mac probably doesn't want to have a catch with Chase anymore.

[@redduck6483]

Lol. This comment didn’t age well. Check Utleys retirement pitch.

[@bornwrong3671]

He's a dirty player always been. He will b remembered more for that than anything he's done which isn't much

Are you stoopid or are you dumb

[@IntellectuallyEliteMedia]

He was a dirty player, and will always be remembered as a pile of trash baseball player.

[@quarantinechill_4530]

woooow this dude doesn’t know how to talk. i almost believe him when he says it wasn’t intentional…. but “it could’ve been worse” is an extreeeeemely poor choice of words in this case
