Myshkin Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 So I go to check Facebook, see what's going on with all those people I mostly hate, and what do I see trending? Chase Utley. Why? Apparently he performed another dangerous and illegal slide in last night's game. Wait, hold on a sec, I was watching that game and I never saw him do anything like that. There was a play at the plate, Chase got into the throwing lane, which is you know what you're supposed to do, he slid, and no contact was made other than him being tagged out. A perfectly normal play that absolutely nobody was upset about at the time, but today every sports media outlet is running with the story. It's almost as if they were waiting for him to do something dirty, and when he didn't oblige they chose a perfectly legitimate slide and called it dirty.

Not necessarily, but for me it excuses any concern I might have for any lack of respect that is directed at Chase Utley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minute the play happened I was expecting immediate backlash. Not that it was deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Does mlb.tv offer gift subscriptions? My parents are no longer in the O's broadcast area, and my mom is a diehard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems you can do so for At Bat here, but that's radio only. For premium, I suppose you could always create an account with your folks' email info and your credit card number, but then you'd be on the hook for the recurring charge. (On the other hand, annual birthday/Mother's Day/whatever appropriate occasion gift sorted for the forseeable future!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Man, Aaron Sanchez is electric. Deep in the game he's still sitting at 96-97 with serious life, and it comes out soooo easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 ManBearPuig is on track for 162 triples, which would probably be a record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
