Major League Baseball and its players have banned most home plate collisions but left open an exception if the catcher has the ball and is blocking the runner's direct path to home plate.

 

A new rule, 7.13, was adopted by MLB and the players' association on a one-year experimental basis, the sides said Monday.

 

A comment attached to the rule states "the failure by the runner to make an effort to touch the plate, the runner's lowering of the shoulder, or the runner's pushing through with his hands, elbows or arms, would support a determination that the runner deviated from the pathway in order to initiate contact with the catcher in violation."

 

I don't like it. If Buster Posey's leg didn't collapse, this isn't an issue.

Well, ok then...

Being able to run over the catcher in the first place didn't really make sense to me. It's not like you can run over a player on the other bases.

if a first baseman was blocking first base, you could truck right through that [expletive]. You have to round the other two bases.

I imagine you could beat the 2nd or 3rd baseman back to the back pretty easily after you deck them

Gross. That's too subjective. If you're going to make a change, make a change.

Josh Reddick makes maybe one of the best catches you'll see all year on the first day of spring training, and also steals a 2nd home run later in the game. Both robbing Michael Morse.

There were concepts for a floating stadium for the Padres and Chargers in the 1960s. My wife and I jet skied in Mission Bay and went around the island they are talking about.

I really wish they could find those concepts.
