  1. more catchers get head injuries taking foul balls. more players get hurt in plays at second than at home. more players end their careers throwing too hard than catcher getting hurt in collisions. Morneau has never been the same after getting a knee in the head at second. should we say that you cant slide into the bases? should we say that players cant slide head first because of the injury risk? i get the protection thing, but there are inherent risks that are accepted in playing the sport that cant all be taken out without changing the sport. comparing this to the warning track or catchers masks is kind of silly
  2. if they simply use the rule that is in place for obstruction there wouldn't be many collisions. if they say you have to slide then they MUST call obstruction if the catcher doesn't offer the runner part of the plate. how do they determine if the catcher has given "enough" of the plate to offer the runner room to slide? this is going to be an extra hour of argument and replays for years to come. there are reasons this has not happened before.
  3. how's his cologne deal going? lol http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/2mIAY8vRa3U/hqdefault.jpg
  4. not sure I agree. it's still one of the most exiting plays in the game only slightly behind and inside the park home run. the risk of taking away the excitement of a close play at home is not a good thing. I understand the need to protect the investment. This has come because of Posey's ankle injury and not because of the concussions. franchise player went down and owners went sour, but the Posey injury was mostly his own fault. his feet were badly positioned and he was blocking the plate without the ball. I agree 100% with saying you cant take the catcher out when you are out by 10 feet, but not a blanket rule to say no collisions. draw a line 10 feet from home and if the catcher is standing on the plate with the ball before you cross the line you cant take him out..... that I could live with.
  5. the rule already applies to the catcher, but the interpretation/enforcement has always been different. they dont need a new rule. they need a decision on how the existing rule is to be applied.... or? edit: more players get serious injuries in collisions at second than at home plate. is that the next thing to change?
  6. the actual issue is society trying to nanny people even when they are adults. at some point the protective state has to leave people alone and let them live. there are already rules that actually stop most collisions. taking all "dangerous" play out of of baseball will kill the sport. I'm tired of people trying to bubble wrap the world to protect us from ourselves. so this picture is perfect. politically correct is sucking the living out of life.
  7. McGowan silly... like duh! lol
  8. it's lotto 649. you might win against all odds, but even if you dont it's not really costing anything.
  9. that's Beeston's pocket money for cigars. he needs to have a bigger stash to use for signing free agents
  10. sure, why not just use the hybrid icing rule from hockey so the base runner can just round third and go to the dugout. this is NOT a good thing
  11. MLB will start looking like special ed sports days with all the protective gear. http://www.legacydad.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/overprotective-parents.jpg
  12. so sick and tired of the f***ing PC nanny state running everyone's lives. can we just tell these *******s to DIAFF? what are they going to do next, remove the take out play at second or the swipe tag? like this off season wasn't bad enough already....
  13. the face he makes every time he opens a box of Timmys...
  14. AA's idea of a three way is him alone in a room with a giro and a box of donuts. the fat greek is gonna sell the rest of the farm off for some magic beans.
  15. never said any different. not sure why you are trying to make the point when I already agree with you? lol
  16. he's an *******, but he's not the only one and I dont see much out there that is worth 5 years. the FA market is pretty bad this year. the few top players who are out there are asking ridiculous money + years that dont make sense. not that making sense is AA's strong side. AA needs to make a couple of shrewd moves and the team has to have a lot of things fall their way for this next season to not be heart breaking. AA could empty the farm and still only have a 75 win team.
  17. no top FA will be joining the jays this off season unless AA can get more than one agreeing as long as the other one agrees to a deal. the jays are too many moves from being a playoff team and top FA will only go for money AA isn't willing to pay or a team that is heading to the playoffs. last years moves left the team farther away from the playoffs and with half the farm they had before last off season.
  18. if pigs could fly... if chickens had lips... if the jays win a world series lol
  19. exactly... AA can do the same as last year. sell the future to suck now. then he can get his ass fired and we can start over with someone who knows something about baseball?
  20. walks and HRs combined really made it ugly at times. I can see him having a solid year next year, but he's not an ace.
  21. I find it hard to see Dickey giving up more dingerz next year. have to hope less of the contact is 400ft+.
  22. last year's panic move that went so colossally wrong still stings. got to hope the fat greek's sport gut ha gotten smarter.
  23. probably? hard, rude, you gotta be shittin me pass.... we have a s***** catcher who cant catch already or hit already.
