4:52 That's a shit call. Glove down in front of base, runner slides lead foot directly into it, catcher holds onto ball.. a no doubt OUT and a suspicious umpire. 😐
1:08 that's how you do it. Big crash, make sure the other guy's okay and tell him good job. Help him up if he's all right. Be a gentleman, not a douche.
@@alexisschoen2608 I saw a play in football, when I was a kid, that nearly brought tears to my eyes, it was so... sportsmanlike.

Absolutely the one at 0:45 that punch was uncalled for it is not like they intentionally run into them i mean if you are blocling the plate only one way its gonna go
Exactly. There's a clear difference between having to knock a catcher out of your way who's blocking your path , and intentionally hitting them as hard as possible to knock the ball out of their hands with no regard for their safety or flat out trying to injure them.
Knock the ball loose..real baseball. First highlight posey gets hurt..knee jerk modern baseball..let’s make a rule. If u like hard nosed baseball watch games prior to today’s sissy game
Kyle Grunert u can slam catcher all day if he’s in front of plate but!!!! U cannot bring arms up and barrel through, Cannot lower shoulder . It’s just as dangerous for the runner as catcher but catcher is stationary taking most of the blow
@@core4gaming479 lol what you want the runner to have his arms behind his back. its human reaction when youre about to take a hit your arms go up. literally wouldnt hurt the catcher to move to the side a little bit like the catcher at the end of this video.
BEN PLAYSS on my baseball team I got nailed i the stomach by a foul tip and then the very next day I got hit in the nuts by a foul tip the ball went right under my cup
I agree I was a catcher since I was a kid all the way to college... As a catcher you also need to know when to do it... But it was the risk of the most beautiful place to be a ball player... The most complete... You have to be a tough guy with good reflexes, being agile, forget about fear to the ball, and willing to take a hit. Baseball is life rest just details
JustJoshin' *again. Baseball used to be as much of a “mans man” sport as football but the rules they’re making now are just sissifying the game. I remember back in the 90s when I was growing up baseball was HUGE. And honestly my favorite sport. Still is, but since there has been less contact IMO baseball has been kind of dead.
I think is the catcher is covering the plate then he put himself in that position but I also think that you shouldn't go out of your way to blow up said catcher
Best one... David Ross giving the catcher a pat on the butt. "Good job bud". I was a catcher for 10 years... if you knock the ball free... good for you. If you hold on... I'll throw the ball back to the pitcher and that's the end of it. No ego... it's a part of the game. (It WAS Anyway....) still sad they did away worth bowling over the catcher...
Vladimir Guerrero though. From the rightfield corner throws the runner out. What an arm. One of these best arms I’ve seen. Old school fans like my father would say Roberto Clemente best outflield arm of alltime.
yeah throwing someone out from the outfield is one of the most impressive things in baseball. Outfielders never get the credit but have so much work to do in just a couple seconds.
This is simple if you block what I want "home plate". I will body rush you if you stand between me and a plate of bacon! I would rather see these men bull rush then cleats go into the groin!
When they first announced a few years ago that they were taking collisions at the plate out of the game, as a fan I was highly disappointed. But watching a few different videos (including this one) on collisions, I could understand why they did it. Sure it was fun to see when it happened but the players health is definitely way more important.
this is the right take. yeah it was a fun part of the game...but these are 200+ lb. pro athletes...one going at full speed literally to cause a collision strong enough to knock the ball out of a guy's hands.
Thank God for this new rule, this was one of the stupidest most unfair situations in sport. Even in hockey were hitting is allowed charging is a penalty. It’s considered dangerous and unfair to allow a guy to take a straight up run at somebody. If baseball wants to be a contact sport it should be a contact sport all the time not just in one narrow situation where one poor bastard has to take a concussion for no reason
People need to grow up if your blocking home plate only one way to get to it u set urself up for it so take it like a man or woman and don’t start fights just bc they collide into you. If your gonna play a physical sport be prepared to actually touch someone or rough someone up makes no sense
The new rule is good. Do you see these catchers getting railed at home plate? They have no chance to protect themselves. They’re looking to find the ball and then make the tag while the runner is getting full speed with only 1 task, to crush the catcher. It’s not safe
so football or mma is safe? baseball now only has brawls to make it anywhere near as exciting. If you want safe, watch golf. And no one was forcing catchers to block the plate, it was their own choice.
wiremessiah but it's not their own choice. If they don't block the plate they lose their job for letting in runs. If it were me I'd block the plate too because if you don't you're letting down your whole team. I'm saying the new rule is there to make sure that catchers don't have to be a crash test dummy for players coming to home plate to score a run. I mean you watched the video right? Those catchers didn't have a fat chance in hell to protect themselves from those freight trains coming straight at them
I think the contact is more entertaining, but most of those runners are just attempting to hurt the catcher. I think the rule is a good thing and will help protect them.
Zechariah Landstrom I know, that's why I said the new rule is good. Catchers will be out of the way giving the runner a clear path to homeplate which will protect both players. Have you ever slid into a catcher when he was blocking homeplate? It doesn't feel good.
Zechariah Landstrom If the throw is good enough to get the runner out, shouldn't the catcher be able to field the ball and tag the runner without being in the direct path of the runner? The runner is pretty much focused on scoring, so the catcher just needs to field the ball slightly in front of or slightly behind the baseline to avoid a collision with the baserunner.
If the catcher has the ball, he can do whatever to tag the runner If the catcher is in the way of the runner, runner can do whatever to get to the plate.
The problem with the old rules was the fact that it encouraged people to hit the catcher as hard as they possibly could, in hopes that they would drop the ball. That kind of encouragement in any sport (other than martial arts/boxing/etc.) should have no place. Imagine if you could try dislodging the puck in hockey by just ramming the goaltender as hard as you could? It would be insanity.
Apples and oranges. Injuries at the plate weren't that common, especially when it's a decent catcher who knows when to move or not. You act as if there aren't more vicious hits in hockey already. There isn't a single non-combat sport that encourages violence more than hockey, and you want to pussify baseball. I don't get it.
See I don’t mind having to truck the cart her that’s why he had pads but after u should help him and give him a pat on the but or shoulder don’t be a jerk about
Steve Yeager of the Dodgers got ran over several times in the 70's. The most memorable one is when Dave Parker nailed him in Pittsburgh and he held onto the ball.
Imagine making the final out of the game out home plate, you get run over, and then your teammates start jumping on top of you. If I was that Florida Marlins catcher, I think I would’ve tapped out.
It's always nice to see the respect after the fact. they didn't mean to nor want to, it's just part of the game. As a catcher myself, i can tell you it's doesn't really help after you punch the dude in the head and he's out of the game and so are you.
I always enjoyed the physical aspect of baseball; collisions at home plate chief among them. However, modern day players are bigger, stronger, and faster. The amount of force impacting a stationary target (the catcher), is clearly too much for even the best of athletes. Probably for the best that a rule change was made, but I do miss the “ good old days.”
Well two wrong things....the catcher is blocking the base line to the plate (he should be aligned with the right edge of the plate ...second the runner should be suspended for the rest of the season for internationally hitting catcher....he had room to see life away and tag plate.....
"In order to protect the..." Didn't exist until they sold sports to chicks. It's just going to get worse and worse, as they nerf everything. And it's as much a reason for the decline in popularity of professional sports, as anything else. Those rare dangerous collisions, in all sports, are what makes them exciting. Do you think anyone would watch 'Ice Road Truckers' if there was zero chance of anything really bad happening? Quit trying to sell sports to chicks.
Anybody want to play pick up baseball, football, hockey or basketball? Because that ain't happening anymore. It's liberal arts now. Thank gosh for AAF!!
Silly pastime. (The pajama pants look stupid too. Wear the 3/4 length breeches pants and quit pretending you're on the way to town instead of playing baseball.)
The only reason Posey was injured and the other were not was because Posey is a shitty catcher, and not because of the collision. When catcher's do their thing correctly, collisions don't cause injury. we made a rule change to respond to a shitty catcher. Good job, MLB.
Let me say I understand why 50 ppl like that comment to avoid injury also cuz some ppl make contact cuz their assholes but I’m making contact cuz this is how I feed my family I won’t make contact if not necessary but if there is a chance he may turn around and tag me but he is still trynna catch the ball I making contact cuz I really don’t won’t me being generous being the reason we lost the game by a run
I think it’s stupid. I think you should be able to play to win. Maybe not as crazy as sharpening your cleats and spiking people but stuff like this, if you have a chance to break that up from the catcher catching the ball and you scoring I think you should be able to do that.
I hate this rule. In my opinion, the play at the plate "was" the most exciting play in sports. If you're a catcher when I was playing the rule was if the ball is on it's way you can block the plate. It's a business decision I guess... but it's as much of the game as trying to break up a double play... wait they can't do that wither
There shouldn’t be a collision home plate especially because catchers are the hardest spot to play you have to squat the whole game you HAVE to catch everything like, it’s hard
