Explain why that matters.

Everyone talking about Austin getting beat up have Yall seen the pic of Kelly's face?
Yeah, it was red from having judge grab his head. Kelly definitely got the better of Austin and Kelly was in the right. Sorry, you lost this round. There will be others.

I wasn’t aware that Austin got tackled to the ground before he got to Kelly? Looked to me like they got toe to toe and then everybody jumped in.

That’s what teammates are for, you sound like you’d be a shitty teammate.

Hell, we were taught in high school ball that if something like that happened, the catcher was supposed to get the hitter on the ground any way possible. Everybody else was supposed to stay up because they don’t have the protective gear of the catcher.

It matters because you will get a batter seriously hurt by letting him think nothing is coming then throw at him later in the at bat. Yankees won the game that's all I care about.

It was dirty, and the reason was, is that he came in with spikes up. Had he just leg whipped him, no biggie, but once he came with spikes up, and clipped the sox player, it went from good hard nosed play to dirty.

I loved how the batter started hammering the bat to the ground like some retard on a rant. Reminded me of bam bam from Flintstones.

The Red Sox did it the right way by waiting for Austin and then hitting him in the proper place.


What they should have done was drill Judge or Sanchez in the proper place, so they can explain to Austin why you don't spike someone on a routine force out.


ETA: And those guys probably don't charge the mound either.

Lol. 3 years ago guys slid 5 feet outside the bag to break up double plays, austin slides 6 inches outside the bag (yes, his cleats were a little high, but nothing ridiculous) and its “extremely dirty.” Too funny.

Eta: after the red soxes hit judge, would kelly have waved him on like he did austin?

You must not understand when there is a double play opportunity. There was no way the Sox were going to get a double play on that play. Austin wasn't trying to break up a double play, he was trying to hurt someone for no reason.

Well you explain why he did a hard slide when he was clearly out already with spikes up and with one leg sweeping out a few feet to tag Holt's back foot that was clearly off the bag already?

There guys on first and second and it was a shitty bunt, came off the bat way too hard. Holt held the bag and stretched late on the play so austin cant see what else is going on. Hes trying to make sure to break up the double play if holt tries to turn it. You can argue it was dirty since he got him with the cleats. You can also argue that austin lacked awareness and shouldve realized there was no way holt couldve turned 2, but to argue he went out of his way to hurt their like 3rd string middle infielder is disingenuous imo.

I don't think he had the specific intent to cause an injury, but he spiked him on purpose without the proper regard to the injury he could have needlessly caused. He deserved to wear one. He shouldn't have charged the mound. The fact that he let Kelly get the better of him is just icing on the cake.

Well to be fair, we slammed his bat like a baby, but wasnt gonna charge until kelly waved him on.

The fact that you think kelly got the better of him is pretty funny. Neither landed any punches (outside of austin nailing the 3rd base coach), and cc, judge and stanton pushed the red soxes around like rag dolls.

Even if true, this has nothing to do with the fact that Kelly got the better of Austin.

It was dirty 3 years ago too, and players retaliated and brawled about it back then too. There's nothing new about it being a dirty play, why do you think rules were created to try to prevent it from happening?

Dudes also used to sharpen their cleats and bowl over catchers with or without the ball.

Doubtful... Judge probably just takes first base without incident and the whole thing is over, because he knows his teammate fricked up. Probably... I'm not going to act like I know what he's thinking for certain.

The only person on the Sox crazy enough to throw at Judge or Stanton would have to be Chris Sale.

Two pages ago you claimed Holt was straddling the bag.

It was dirty because he swung his leg clear out to intentionally make contact, with his spikes, on a guy who was not in the path of the slide.

Dirty, because of spikes up, extremely dirty, not even close.
