If it is really about player safety, then why can a runner barrel into home plate, no intention at all to hit the plate, but rock the catchers world?

AdamJoshua · 10-20-2013, 10:48 AM

Catcher has a little more protection than say a second baseman. Also this is all about second and breaking up the double play, at least that's the excuse, it's really the only time it happens.

Protection? That catcher gear helps getting a shoulder to your ribs? Sin guards help your knees?

They get hit just as hard, are like a defenseless receiver at that point. More then nit, the catcher has very little time to brace.. plus he is kneeling down while the runner is diving right at him.

Oh dear Lord please don't change mlb like nfl and nba. The changes are said to be for the players protection, that is bull$hit.

If it's a bang....bang play the fielder gets it.

If it is booted,bobbled or a bad throw then it is looked at very close and called accordingly.

That is the way it has been called forever for all teams.

Can't resist a little story .....

Was playing wiffle ball in the back yard with our 5 year old nephew last summer. Great game ... the kid can hit and I was making some amazing out of the trees catches. It all came down to his last at bat ... bases loaded, two outs, two strikes. He hit a line drive right at me. I knocked the ball down, grabbed it and raced to first base. There stood my wife ... she was first base ... kinda looking like a deer in the headlights as we both ran right at her. Tough gal ... she didn't flinch. My nephew beat me by maybe half a step but he was clearly safe. Unfortunately, my left eye collided with the top of my wife's head. She was fine but I walked around for a month with a black eye.

Who says baseball isn't a contact sport?

Edit: NM go back to whaaaaa

Awesome, Enjoy.

So I see Leyland is retiring. Was this seen coming over in the Detroit world?

Well, he is 117 years old, so it was inevitable....but I thought he'd stay a little longer.

He said he told Dave D. on Sept 7th but they kept it from everyone else. I'm sure Dave was hoping he'd change his mind. Wild and irresponsible speculation around these parts about who the next skipper will be.

AdamJoshua · 10-22-2013, 04:02 PM

Watching media day interviews streaming online, if anyone is interested they are on now.

http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?topic_id=3...nt_id=31168901

Of course asking J. Lester about his fight with cancer and coming back and pitching and raising awareness for the fight against cancer, usually the media day stuff is a lot of filler, but being a cancer survivor myself I hope they milk every second out of it they can and it raises even a few extra bucks or gives one cancer patient hope he didn't have before.

*gets off my soap box*

I'm watching NESN Farrells presser all live stuff from the Cards work out.

CigarSquid · 10-23-2013, 07:20 AM

I think I am rooting for Boston tonight. I like some of the players as individuals. I have no clue who plays for the Cards.
