The rule needs to be changed or scrapped outright. If there was *intent* to injure on a baseball slide I would understand the reversal.
There was absolute ZERO intent to injure the player by Bautista, and to have the game lost because of a BS rule is a farce. Furthermore, Bautista slid into 2nd base, its not like he slid into the player and completely missed the bag.
If the MLB is going to implement rules, they shouldn't make them as vague as possible for interpretation and they certainly shouldn't implement garbage like that.
