LT Tolbert's knee--was it a target?

[76gintcock]

It sure looked to me like Gentleman Tim Corbin had his base runners try to take out Tolbert's knee on slides into 2nd base last night. It happened twice. The first time the guy went in with his knee high and just buckled LT's knee. Corbin then had the audacity to claim that the injured Tolbert was blocking the base path and that his guy should be awarded third.

Corbin is a gold-plated jerk.

Looked like two competitors playing ball to me.

How hurt is he?

How hurt is he?

Tolbert has gotten a few tagouts by blocking the base with his foot.

I meant to reply to 76.

He's probably OK. It looked bad, but he walked it off. He drove in the tying runs later in the game.

Tolbert is a MAN !

Corbin is a Jackleg clone.

I heard some old-time ball players talk about deliberately getting their spikes up in a man's chest when sliding into a base. They talked about it as though it were routine. Baseball is a rougher game than some people realize - or was.
