They did but at the same time it ends any playoff opportunities.
Real classless way of handling by the cub. He broke the guys leg.
I think the rule is you slide right over the base no reason at all to even let those slides happen.
The biggest problem I've had reading the internet and twitterverse is that people say the slide wasn't late. To that I will say this: in terms of whether or not Kang still had the ball, no the slide was not late. In terms of when Coghlan started his slide, yes it was WAY late. (And it was not even close to how you should slide in the first place.) It's all good to bring up past instances in the past of guys performing similar slides, but it's annoying for people to ask, "Well what do you think about THIS slide?" It's the unfortunate truth that it takes a guy being seriously injured for people to really start talking about it like this. That's just the way it is.
