He ran into him ON first base. If Eyre's throw would have hit Furcal instead of the railing, there might have been a call. You make it sound like Furcal ran down the line on the grass to go tackle Lee. Furcal did nothing wrong. It was a fluke play.
Watch the replay...
He ran on the infield grass the entire way, right out of the box...which means he is out when there is a play on him at 1st...
BOTH of his feet were ALWAYS on the grass...
Secondly he had to veer to the right to get to the bag...Furcal ran INSIDE the baseline which is wrong and he should have been called out...
Baserunners cannot run to 1st base on the infield grass...
I am just glad that Baez blew the save and the Cubs won...hopefully Lee is okay.
