MLB has suspended Dodgers infielder, Chase Utley for the next two games of the National League Division Series. Utley was suspended for a late slide into second base during Game 2 that left Mets, Ruben Tejada with a broken leg. Utley will appeal the suspension and will be able to play until the appeal is compromised.

Nevertheless, the Dodgers won Game 2, 2-5 over the Mets, tying the best-of-5 series at 1-1. Utley was ruled safe at second base, which upon further review, was immediately noted to be against MLB rules. MLB Chief Baseball Officer, Joe Torre, said that “after thoroughly reviewing that play from all conceivable angles, I have concluded that Mr. Utley’s action warrants discipline. While I sincerely believe that Mr. Utley had no intention of injuring Ruben Tejada, and was attempting to help his Club in a critical situation, I believe his slide was in violation of Official Baseball Rule 5.09 (a) (13), which is designed to protect fielders from this type …show more content…

The intent of this rule is to penalize the offensive team for intentional, and unfair action by the runner by leaving the baseline for the obvious purpose of crashing into someone, in this case, Ruben Tejada on a double play, rather than trying to reach the base. This was obviously an umpire’s perspective.

If the appropriate rule had been applied correctly during Game 2, the Mets would have been given a double play, and the inning would have been over, with the Mets up 2-1. In addition, the Mets quickly released a statement about the the suspension of Utley, saying it was “the appropriate course of action.”

However, on Twitter, the Dodgers responded to Utley’s decision to the appeal, “The Dodgers stand behind Chase Utley and his decision to appeal the suspension issued tonight by MLB. No further comment at this

Maurice Clarett filed a case against the NFL, arguing that its three-year rule acted as an unreasonable restraint on trade in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Act. On the other hand, the NFL argued that its three-year rule was shielded from antitrust scrutiny by the nonstatutory labor exemption. The district court favored Clarett making him eligible for the 2004 NFL Draft. However, the NFL requested that the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit hear its motion and declared that Clarett was not eligible to participate for the draft anymore.

After leaving one runner on second in the previous inning, the eighth looked as if the Boom would at least tie, if not take the lead. Daniel Sweet (Dallas Baptist), Michael Gizzi (State College of Florida) and Matt Gandy (Creighton) worked consecutive base-on-balls to load the bases with no one out. Sanford made a pitching change, with Cody Henry (Alabama) coming to the plate. He lined a frozen rope over a ducking Gizzi, right at the short stop, who beat Gizzi back to the second base bag, for the double play. Sweet scampered home, as the first pitch of Garrett Wolforth’s (Dallas Baptist) at-bat, got away from the catcher.

After the release of the story to the public, Norbert Doyle admits to all of his actions he did in the past including the murder of his wife and the number of illegal drugs he used. Due to these circumstances, Norbert Doyle receives a suspension for most of the year, which involves him missing the rest of the regular season. It was obvious his suspension upset him because of his prior actions: “Doyle made a nice big dent in the locker in the locker room, but he was ready to embrace his consequences and watch his team play without him for the remainder of the regular season” (Feinstein 310). When Steve interviewed Norbert Doyle, Doyle claimed that he had to be optimistic and ardent for the future and that he had to be ready when he is able to pitch. However, Doyle is available to pitch in the postseason after his regular season ban, and when Doyle makes his first start in the postseason, he only gives up two runs in seven innings.

The National League Should Adopt the Designated Hitter Rule Major League Baseball is a broken business, and will be one until both the American League and the National League decide that it would be a good idea to play by the same rules. Since the National League (NL) has refused to follow the Designated Hitter Rule, a rule that the American League (AL) has played by since 1973, there is inequality between the two leagues. The Designated Hitter Rule states that “A hitter may be designated to bat for the starting pitcher and all subsequent pitchers in any game without otherwise affecting the status of the pitcher(s) in the game” (“Official Rules - MLB.com”). In summary, the designated hitter (DH) hits for the pitcher and doesn’t play in the

In recent discussions of the designated hitter, a controversial issue has been whether the National League of Major League should adopt the designated hitter or that the National League should keep the rule how it is and have the pitchers bat. On the one hand, some argue that the National League should keep the rule of having the pitcher bat in the lineup. From this perspective, we can argue that teams will have to make strategic moves late in the game when dealing with the pitcher’s spot in the batting order. On the other hand, however, others argue that the designated hitter role should be adopted by the National League. The opinion of one of this view’s main supporters is that having the designated hitter will expand some teams offenses.
