Never wanna see anyone get hurt but I have seen worse but the magnitude of this one will bring up a lot of debate for sure!!! #MLBPlayoffs

If that was a superstar shortstop we would have a Tulo Rule being enforced tomorrow

Maybe I don't know the rules but doesn't a runner have to touch the base to be safe?

I'm pretty sure you have to touch a base in order to be safe.

Since when was starting your slide past the bag OK? I get that you're playing hard but that was not a slide, that was a dive! #cmonman

You change the rule at home, how do you not change the rule at 2nd?

So that's how you break up a play... I always just laid down and let them trip over me.

That was not a slide and that is not how u 'go in hard'!

W/O even discussing the nature of the slide/tackle...I don't see how runner was awarded 2nd base when he made NO attempt to touch bag.
