MLB Insane Home Plate COLLISIONS ᴴᴰ

[@Henny905]

I love how it turns into a football game. The runner literally just tries to truck the catcher and if he drops the ball he’s out 😂

[@davidbuschhorn6539]

@@alexisschoen2608 I saw a play in football, when I was a kid, that nearly brought tears to my eyes, it was so... sportsmanlike. The receiver caught the ball in the end zone, but JUST when he touched the ground, the safety slammed into him, going the other way. After they crashed together, they just stood there facing one another and the defender reached out and shook the receiver's hand. Like, "Sorry man, I couldn't stop. Good catch."

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

[@kylegrunert22]

If the catcher leaves no room for the runner to slide I completely understand it but I hate seeing people go out of their way to take out someone.

[@TheVas76]

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.

[@taurnguard]

Then you don't want to see the video of evil runners sliding into second base.

[@jaydesrochers3276]

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

[@core4gaming479]

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

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.

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.

[@skippythealien9627]

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.

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.

[@zechariahlandstrom6550]

Knight Vision a catchers career was ended from a home plate collision I don’t care if it’s entertaining and I’m a catcher

[@morgan595]

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.

[@zechariahlandstrom6550]

But there is a rule that says you can go up the line to get the ball

[@morgan595]

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.

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.

The secret is get off your knees before the runner runs into you.

[@uriahmansaw1683]

[@tallieb3053]

Jemery S. EXACTLY. If you getting paid millions like these players, I expect the most intense game I can buy.

[@WEFAHawkStreet]

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.

[@chrisseger2346]

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.

[@gogetqz]

I remember when I was in a collision at home plate. I was like 11? 12? Around that area...I was catcher and I was surprised at the outcome. There was this huge girl running at me like a ram. I almost shit myself. I had the glove at my chest and I bodied up. I really don't know what happened but she ended up face down crying and I only took a few steps back. She couldn't play after that. I wasn't as big as her but all I got was a bruise on my shoulder. Also, yes she was out.

[@j-swizzle1922]

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

[@MortifiedPenguinGaming]

Bitch rule

[@34672rr]

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.

[@j-swizzle1922]

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
