The implications of a home plate collision would have been absurd with the new rule. Game 7 of the World Series with two outs and the bottom of the ninth and the tying run coming home decided by Rule 7.13 would have been insane. If Gordon ran over Posey and lowered his shoulder when Posey had possession of the ball and dropped it, then Gordon still would have been called out. The umpire would have been murdered on live television.



Depends... if Posey fields the throw then moves into Gordon's path and gets trucked... legal play. At least that's how it reads, if he has possession he's allowed to block the plate, and Gordon can initiate contact as long as he doesn't go out of his way to do so.

You are right. In my scenario, I was saying Posey was already there with the ball in Gordon's path and waiting for him.
