    So if you slide through the base the batter is out?
    But if you slide randomly 2’ to the right to intentionally try and tackle the player everything is fine?

    I guess I don’t get the rule or the logic when it comes to this.

    From a fan's perspective, I am glad they are giving Bregman some rest.

    Clutchfans question answered, at least for one game. Yordan batting in front of Correa.

    I think it's more of keeping Correa in the 5 than putting Alvarez ahead of him. With Bregman in the lineup and a DH, I'm betting Alvarez is 6th in front of Gurriel.

    If we lose, you will be the one everyone will blame.

    How come so much importance on a series in an NL ballpark?

    Always important to win on the road against good teams. Not in our natural element with the NL rules and playing a good team in a tough park. It’s a mental/morale thing.

    Yup and our lack of even a perceived toughness could be used against us.

    Maybe a mental/morale thing for fans, but players have lost plenty of series in their lives and they know they will lose a lot more. They aren't affected by random stuff like this. They likely know they are one of the 2 or 3 best teams in baseball, whether the score in this game is 20-0, 2-1, 1-2, or 0-20.
