Syndergaard Ejected Throwing at Chase Utley Dodgers

[PicoRiveraCalifornia]

Everyone disagrees with the call, yet I remember that he's retaliating for the slide against in Tejada in Game 2 of the NLDS? No one remembers?

[libbySandoval]

I believe he was intentionally trying to either hit Utley or scare him. Remember when he tried to hit Escobar? He can hold a grudge

[CoffeeCakes]

I remember seeing this and some guy near my row yell Bullshit!! And then.. That turned in to every mets fan yelling Bullshit!! Lol

[amandaxnicole]

I was there and everyone was cheering "ASS HOLE!"

[slydEvil]

If they gave him a warning he would have probably thrown at him the next pitch lol.

[JoobJaibot]

I feel sorry for those who had Syndergaard in their Fantasy lineup(s)...

[mlsju]

Harry Kalas was right - Chase Utley, you are the man!

[SammyMaggio]

That was a bullsh*t call. I just saw it live on FOX. Hand out a warning, dammit!

[Emerson-zogv]

Screwed me in fantasy. I needed syndergaard to throw a quality start

[davesingh]

syndergaard purposely missed him to send a message and the mets are basically giving him a pass that's y utley and the Dodgers didn't get upset cuz they new exactly wat the mets were doing to get passed the situation. syndergaard has excellent control to miss him

[Treniso]

Right call by the umpire. Throwing out Cindygaard will prevent a need for retaliation by the Dodgers.

[clarenceivins]

control your pitches.don't throw behind a bater

[franko]

Utley does not strike me as a dirty player at all. It was a bad injury in the NCDS, but I don't think he was being dirty. Sometimes I think New Yorkers need to (in best New York accent) "forget about it."

Guess New York might need to make another Utley card board cut out to punch for hitting a grand slam today.

So, who's ordering pizza tomorrow?

[golfmaniac]

a warning should have been issued. this is what makes watching baseball exciting. it builds drama. that ump should have been thrown out.

[thangvuong]

A "professional" pitcher SHOULD have better control than a little leaguer.

[fordgtrocks]

as a long time fan of the Phillies and chase Utley. syndergaard should of not if been thrown out... but damn, a 99mph pitch to the backside would hurt like a bitch. What's up with the fans in the crowd saying "hit him", I know it's because of the slide but it's fuel for Utley's fire and man did he create an inferno today

[adamkean]

Don't the Mets realize that everytime they throw at The Man, he SODOMIZES them? Bahaha! Watching Chase go deep twice was epic. Dead silence....

[TripleHomicide]

I saw this and listened to the announcers swear up and down that the umpire was being an idiot. The way I see it, everyone knew there was history from last year between the two teams that wasn't too nice, and even knowing that, Synderguard threw behind him anyway. I'm actually tired of hearing people say, "Why didn't he give them a warning instead, wah wah wah."

This is professional baseball. If you're gonna throw behind someone or hit someone with a pitch, expect to be tossed. It just goes to show the umpires you don't have control of where you're throwing the ball. These balls are flying over the plate at 95 mph and if they're being used to intimidate or injure batters, maybe the pitcher should go back to the minors where he belongs.

Granted once in a while you might make a mistake and accidentally hit someone, but for fans to sit there and expect the umpire to be able to magically know wither or not it was intentional or not, and make the call accordingly is just ridiculous.

I think Synderguard got what he deserved.

[micjakes]

get byron from hardcore pawn the throw out the manager/coaches when they act like this. a part of baseball we can all do without. the bob knight school of coaching.

[janetjunkie]

He could of giving a warning but at the same time that pitch was way behind the player. l am just sorry Chase isnt w the Phils anymore but he deserved to find a new place to play.
