The Slide

I have to weigh in on this slide, which has gotten in my opinion to much attention.  Sure Chase Utley could have started his slide earlier but other than that I can't see anything dirty about this play.  Chase was going into the bag hard to break up the potential double play like every player has been taught since little league.  Ruben Tejada went to try and turn the double play, he was using the base for protection, like we're all taught and Chase Utley came in hard.  Chase was with in an arm's reach of the bag, thats not the issue. Chase slide a little late and to the outfield side of the bag, but in my opinion it was a clean, hard baseball play.  Ruben Tejada broke his leg but Chase Utley could have gotten hurt to.  Are we arguing about a slide, a baseball play or the fact that high priced baseball players are getting hurt.  Now their talking about changing the rule, like they did with blocking the plate when Buster Posey got hurt.  Baseball is protecting their bottom dollar, every high priced player that gets hurt and is not on the field is hurting their on field product.
