The question to me on the slide into home is whether this type of play will be included in the Chase Utley rule that we all know is coming in the near future. I'm a Rangers fan, and I don't have a problem with the play as the slide was legal by the letter of the rule and it is how players for decades have been trained to play.

That said, I don't think we should have variable rules regarding sliding and avoidable contact depending on where the play is or whether it is a force or tag play, nor can the penalty be dependent on whether or not someone involved is injured.
