It's not what happened. Watch the video. Utley has a clear shot at a safe slide into second base. Instead of taking it, he rolls off the base path to take out the shortstop, without even attempting to touch the bag with his free left hand. It's the kind of "hustle play" made by ... a bum who knows that his baseball skills aren't going to cut it.

And yes, that's relevant:

Utley is finished. His WAR for 2015 is -0.5. What category does that put him in? Bum. It means a team is literally better off with any non-bum replacing him.

I’ve watched video & watched it live. If I’m running to 2nd & know it’s possible double play, I’m trying to reach base & break up play. If unable to tag base, I’m definitely breaking up the double play.

Looks like a late slide.
