Good. It's fricking stupid how people think it's okay to run over the catcher when you're going to be out by ten feet.

However, if the catcher doesn't have the ball yet and he's already blocking the plate I have much less sympathy.

I dont think it is a big deal.

Like someone else said at 1se, 2nd, or 3rd you would be out if you tried it, what makes home plat that much different?


Huh? You do realize if someone was standing on 1st, blocking your path, you would 100% be able to run them over?

This rule change is moronic.

frick that. It's been a part of the game forever. Catcher wants to be a big boy and block the plate, he deserves to get his arse ran over. And like someone posted before, so what? Is that making home plate a force out now?

So was not allowing black people to play. Why did we change that rule? Tradition!

Have you people never seen baseball at any other level??

Apparently not, because he'd be bitching about Aluminum bats, the lower level DHing, and a lot of A-AAA teams not remotely giving a shite about wins and loses, but purposely making pitchers easier to hit to try out new things.
