i don’t get the knee part.
The late slide. The low throw is how they used to teach whoever is covering 2nd on the double play to protect themselves from late slides, the guy better be ducking if he wants to break up a play that bad or he will have re-arranged face.
This whole problem comes from the MLB policy of issuing warnings, in a stupid attempt to protect players worth millions and million in contract money. So instead of another pitcher being able to retaliate, it pressures a team to stick someone first. In the Ranger’s case they waited until the last Bautista at bat in the last regular season series with the Jays this season.

Bautista made an illegal slide that can cause serious injury to the middle infielder. He didn’t start the slide until he was on top of the bag, well after he was already out. You can’t do the Ty Cobb thing anymore
True Roogie is a bit of a hot head but so is Bautista
