Never came close to a bingo tonite. :(

I played a couple softball games with a college player, and he hit several towering fly balls. Did not hit one out.

You can always spot the ex-baseball players who haven't played slow-pitch much yet.

Just got home from the game. What happened to Scutaro? didn't see him get hurt in any kind of obvious way.

Admittedly, I haven't been to as many games as some on this board, but easily the best game I've ever been to. Crowd was electric all night.

You missed the take-out slide/chop-block?

Scutaro was injured when Holliday crashed into him in the first inning. Fox claimed Scutaro was limping later on in the game and the trainer was constantly talking to him. Scutaro wanted to stay in the game, but the Giants forced him out. He's getting MRIs done and might've hurt his hip.

Saw it, but he kept playing, so I didn't think it was that bad.

Huh. He still came up with the big hit. I guess ... good job on Scutaro. Kind of curious what the consensus here was. I thought it was a rough play, but hey, that's baseball.

Dirty play, arguably within the rules, but it's the reason people hate the Cardinals because of players like Holliday that we have developed.

Kruk & Schilling had a decidedly negative view of Holliday's slide. Suspect that is the consensus.

Okay, so I read through the first couple pages. The gif posted really made it clear that not only did Holliday start his slide late, but he also hooked Scutaro's leg with his arm. It's one thing to slide late, but the thing with his arm made the play pretty damn dirty.

I think the office of the commissioner should probably fine him.

Could be misremembering, but I don't think anyone's ever been fined for going into second. Up to the players to police this. Schilling was quite candid that a pitcher's job includes making sure that the other team is dissuaded from making "overly aggressive" plays. Since this is the playoffs, some of the remedial education may extend into the 2013 regular season.

I think that was definitely a rough play.

Hmmm... you're probably right. I'm getting the NBA mixed up here. Well, it is a better system to fine guys than to have beanball wars.

I guess Holliday can expect one in the ribs next game if he bats with no one on and two outs.

I could have outrun today's huff 4 years ago, but ever since I broke my leg into several prieces while skiing badly, I run a lot like... Huff with a limp. Softball I an adventure these days.

As for Hunter P. I find it constantly distressing that the Giants have Anthony Michael Hall in right field. I keep getting worried he's charging a buck to the late season callups for a glimpse of Huffs ralley thong under the bleachers.
