Wow...sure glad Soriano is adding that much needed ooomph to the top of the lineup!
What is the point of leading him off when things were working so well? Anyways, have to listen to this game at work so “GO CUBS GO!!!”

Wow
Reed Johnson does have a tendency to be a sort of ballhog out there, but that was probably his ball to catch

Ofcourse that was his to catch
He’s the CF….When he is calling for it, the RF needs to get the feek out of the way.

Hall hit it into Right
Fielder tried to score. Fukudome took him OUT with a strike to Soto.

Dome made up for his mental error earlier in the inning
and threw Fielder out at home on a single. Fielder barrelled into Soto who hung on to the ball for 3rd out of inning

DIRTY.
That was a little dirty. Fielder shoved his elbow into Geovany’s face. WTF? You’re not supposed to lead with your shoulder and arm like that. Way to go Geo. Helluva throw from Kosuke too.

Not dirty...
that’s exactly how you do it. You lead with your shoulder and forearm as a runner. Otherwise, you take the brunt of the collision yourself. It’s a painful play for the catcher, but that’s the way it goes.

Not how I was taught.
You don’t go for the face. I was told you’re supposed to cross your arms and just run into him. NOT go for the face like the replay seemed to indicate, although such a thing could be inadvertent on Fielder’s part too.

To be honest...
I don’t think he was aiming for anything but Soto in general. You’re running full speed and trying to deliver a blow. It’s hard to line up your hit exactly in the chest if you don’t do it regularly.
And what you were taught as a child has a lot more to do with the fact that little kids shouldn’t be hitting other little kids in the face. It’s a little different at the next level.

Even so.
It looked like he was trying to elbow him in the face. I realize it’s a hard play, but still.
At least we can take heart that it wasn’t Barrett, who probably would have slugged him. ; )

I don't think he was TRYING to elbow him in the face...
again, at full speed, you’re just trying to deliver a big blow. It’s hard to aim when you’re running that hard. I really don’t think he was trying to elbow Soto in the face.

Wasn't arguing with the "inadvertant" part...
I was arguing with the “dirty” part.
If it was intentional, it was dirty. I do not think it was intentional. Thus, I think it was not dirty.

To clarify...

Soto is lucky Jones isn't in right anymore
Soto would’ve still been waiting for the ball as it rolled to him and Fielder would’ve knocked him unconscious.
