Tag the guy and go to the 17ing dugout and we aren’t having this conversation.
That dumb *** play could cost us a regional.

Multiple things can be true. Long took it too far but throwing out half our team over that is an absolute disgrace to the sport.
It was a tie ballgame…. You never know with this team’s bats.
But, not having the top of the lineup available for no apparent reason didn’t help!
Agreed. But if you tackle the guy and get every one kicked out then what.
you're exaggerating, the guy didn't even fall over, he bumped him a little extra. Was he wrong? Yeah. Did he "tackle" him, no.
Complete garbage call all the way around. I'd argue Long didn't even need to be ejected but in today's pussified sports I'd allow it. Everything else was beyond the pale.
The eye of Birmingham focusing in when they see the dogs get a little fight in them
I like the fire from Long, honestly. I think he let his frustration with the season boil over. Tired of the BS. He’s the type player we need, and used to have under Cohen.
********. Long lost his temper like he had roid rage

Makes me wonder what that many guys I'm assuming that will not be playing today any possibility of Jurrangelo picking up a bat
True, but taking 50 strikes before the debacle on offense could have something to do with it.
Or getting picked off of second when we were on the verge of a big inning. That took all the air out of the stadium.
As I posted in a different thread, are we all going to ignore the fact that the UGA base runner led with his elbow to Long’s ankle?
Do ya’ll really believe that Long walked over the guy for no reason? Was Long wrong? Yes. However, after watching the replay multiple times, I can cut him some slack.
The real travesty was the ruling from Birmingham.

or throwing Condon that HR pitch in the 5th with 2 outs and nobody on.
I ask again, what was the runner suppose to do ? Whatever the catcher uses to block the plate is going to get hit by the runner isn't it ?
Base runner did nothing wrong. No defense for Long’s overreaction.
The slide was clean.
long has all the equipment on, was blocking the plate (rightfully so) I guess the runner is suppose to stop? You prefer the runner to come in with metal cleats or a head first slide.
long was way in the wrong. He shoves the guy twice then knees him another time.

Most runners would extend their hand to try to reach the plate faster, not cock their elbow and lead with it into the catcher’s ankle.
Yep. Play like you’ve been there before. 17 that bush league crap
So it’s legal to give an elbow to the catcher’s leg when sliding especially while the catcher has the ball? Got it. Then I’ll say Long was just trying to help Carter up with his knee.
