Torre interview after Mets-Dodgers Game 2

Q. Joe, can you explain on what basis umpires viewed the slide as legal and not constituting illegal interference?

JOE TORRE: Yeah, well, I mean, that's a judgment play. We get a chance to watch it. I'm still watching replays of it. They get a chance, one shot to look at it. Especially with the fact that they've got to see if the guy touches the bag or touches the runner. So there are a lot of things they're looking for. So obviously Chris Guccione didn't think it was a violation. That's a judgment. It saddens me and I think everybody else that Tejada gets hurt here.
