I have no problem with the collision at home. It's always been part of the game and while there have been injuries, they are rare. If George Kottaras gets hurt instead of Buster Posey, this rule change is never made. That's a fact.

If catchers are worried about getting hurt, wear shoulder pads and shite. Put the risk on the runner and make him decide if he wants to take on a fully armored mofo at the plate.

Catchers would be a lot less willing to stick a foot or leg out in front of an oncoming runner if they didn't have those shin guards on. I just think with injuries and what we now have learned about concussions, this rule is necessary.
