That was as clear a violation of the "Buster Posey" rule as you'll ever see. Not only did the unnecessary contact (the runner veered from the baseline into the grass to hit Diaz) cause an errant throw, but it also could have significantly injured Diaz. I cannot believe the rule was ignored on such a blatant play. Rizzo went out of his way to hurt Diaz. I hope he bats again and gets a high hard one.

I'd pop him first time he's up tomorrow if he's not up again today.

182>86, but lets look on the bright side, at least BOB still gets his.

Is this the part of the season where the wheels fall off? It sure feels like it.

I'm starting to think so. 2-8 in our last 10.

I saw the replay, but it was the Cubs announcers. They were saying how clean it was as he was all over home plate. I didn't think so. His chest slid across home plate, not his legs. That was a dirty play. Was it reviwed? Challenged? How man runs did that cause?

2 runs came in on the play. I cannot believe they didn't hit Rizzo after that. They will wait which is stupid. Hit him and get it over with.
