"Not too often you see a runner slide and grab someone's head and slam it to the ground like that. "Looking back at the replay, I'm not too happy about the slide," Reds shortstop Kyle Farmer said. Stephenson's teammates, however, did not agree with the managers.
"There's nowhere to go, and I think Luke was just trying to protect himself putting his hands up. "The ball takes him right into Luke," Padres manager Bob Melvin added. That doesn't mean that Voit did it intentionally." "I thought it could've been an illegal slide. "It didn't end up hurting us because we didn't need the challenge," Bell said. The Reds challenged the call, but umpires ruled Voit's slide was clean.
