My two cents (like anyone gives a s***)
First, Coco's slide was not late, as the moron announcers on ESPN kept repeating last night. The slide was hard, but not late. Second, he did it in retaliation for the earlier play where the SS dropped his knee and sprained Crisp's thumb (note: there was no belly-aching at the time from Crisp and Iwamura was not hurt in the least when Coco slid)
Now, that having been said, if those dumber-than-dirt Rays want to plunk our fourth outfielder and lose their pitcher in the second inning, I say no problem. They are a wonderful combination of bush-league and stupid. They've never been even half decent before this season, they have no idea how to play games that matter.
They were going to change their team name to the Tampa Bay D-Bags, but they couldn't work out a logo.
Ok. I'm done.
