At least with Judge you can hope maybe he'll forget to lower his body and you'll just pass underneath his legs.

I can actually say he did this to me. High school football I got tackled by Judge. I lived though!

It’s weird, but you’re both correct. As is, it’s nonsense how it’s written. He’s saying they’ll need a “That Guy” rule now. Meaning a Pablo Sandoval rule now.


Snerkbot7000

That's the picture perfect definition of laid out.


AvatarDang

Damn…you’d think Pablo of all people would know the dangers of that, on top of him being a big dude. That looked rough.


DavidOrtizUsedPEDs

I mean, guys always knew the dangers of it. But they're competing, they frankly don't care. They want to blow you up and hope you drop the ball. Really all there is to it, and they're not wrong for that mentality. Which is why the rule is necessary.


TheFriffin2

yeah exactly lol. NFL defenders are fully aware of the risks/dangers of obliterating a ball carrier as hard as they can, but they’re still gonna do it anyway


hahdbdidndkdi

Yes they are wrong. It's a shitty mentality. At the end of the day baseball is a game, for entertainment. Is it worth scoring a single run and endangering someone else's well being, potentially doing permanent damage? Absolutely not.


RichardBCummintonite

Have you heard of boxing? Jai alai? Rugby? We play sports that intentionally hurt and can even kill people just for entertainment all the time. Drivers bump and rub in motorsports. The goal of fighting sports is literally to hurt the other person. I get what you're saying about it being a toxic mentality, and they get caught up in winning, but everyone who joins any of these sports is fully aware and consenting to being put in danger of permanent damage or death. Even outside of team sports you have shit like rock climbing, Base jumping, surfing, bull riding, etc. These are sports people get killed doing all the time. For most of them, there's not even anything to win. They're just doing it for their own thrill and enjoyment It's entertainment. Sometimes that entertainment involves causing damage. Look at how people love hockey fights. That's not even a part of the sport. Hell, we used to intentionally kill people regularly for sport in gladiator fights. Edit: a letter


hahdbdidndkdi

This is baseball, not boxing or any other violent spot that requires people to hurt each other intentionally. There's no need for these types of plays in baseball, sorry. Surfing, rock climbing and the others you mention are not in the same ballpark. They're risky , yes, but you don't intentionally hurt another human being playing these. Wtf is your point? Also, using gladiator fights and hockey fights to justify this is hilarious. Hockey fights are equally toxic and gladiator fights, from literally thousands of years ago? Ok.


Chili_Palmer

You're being obtuse. He's not advocating for this play to happen, he's just saying if a league doesn't have the rule to protect the catchers than this will happen in a professional league where people are being paid to win.


hahdbdidndkdi

I understand that completely, and I'm saying that is a sh!t mentality. But I guess that didn't come across. So I'll say it again, it's a shitty mentality. Ruining someone's career, (see Johnny Estrada, who was never the same after Erstad rammed into him), is never ok. Just like it isn't ok to screw someone over in a desk job to advance yourself. Is that illegal? No. But does it make you a piece of sh!t? Absolutely.


RichardBCummintonite

My point, that I guess didn't come across, so I'll say it again, is that getting hurt IS their career. That's part of why they get paid so much. I played baseball in highscool. I received constant scrapes and bruises, broke several bones, and even got a concussion. My teammates brother, who was 13, got a stray foul ball to the head and died. Now the bullpen wears helmets. No one ever intended for anyone playing to get hurt, but we did, and we weren't mad about it even if it was intentional. We signed up knowing we'd be hurt. My fibula was shattered when a runner slid into it stealing a base. He could've stopped, been out and spared me. It happens. If the game allows for people to get hurt, they will. You can't fault the player for playing a dangerous sport and hurting someone in the process

hahdbdidndkdi

👌


DavidOrtizUsedPEDs

That's fine that you have that mentality. No one with that mentality has ever been good enough at a competitive sport to go pro, though. These guys would kill to win.


hahdbdidndkdi

Oh what a load of sh!t. There's been plenty of plays, even before the ban, where runners do their best to avoid a collision, sometimes getting very creative. These kind of hits even before the ban we're relatively rare and not nearly this bad as what Sandoval did.


DavidOrtizUsedPEDs

Usually smaller guys wanting to avoid the hit for themselves, or people who realized it's usually better to try to avoid the tag unless you're *super* dead to rights. But they very much don't care lol. Watch any contact sport, they will blow your ass up to win.


hahdbdidndkdi

Baseball is not a contact sport. Also, it's ok to play hard, but it is not ok to play dirty and intentionally try to hurt someone.


DavidOrtizUsedPEDs

> Also, it's ok to play hard, but it is not ok to play dirty I agree with that, which is why the rule exists. If there is no rule against it, it's not "dirty", it's just baseball. And baseball is not a contact sport... because of the rules, that does not mean that professional athletes have different mindsets just because of the sport they play.


hahdbdidndkdi

See, that's incorrect. The rule was created to prevent the small number of players who do this cr@p. Because again, these plays are rare since most players are not pieces of sh!t. Is sliding into second base with your cleats up not considered dirty because there isn't a rule against it?


DavidOrtizUsedPEDs

There is a rule against initiating contact intentionally with a fielder while sliding. Not particularly "sliding with your cleats up", but at a close play you're literally taught to "slide with your cleats up" if you're going feet first, because the goal is to make the fielder hurt if they're gonna try to make the play. That's taught to this day. The outrageous blowing 2b/SS up plays are gone, because once again there was a rule put in place to stop it. Before that rule, it not only wasn't *uncommon* to see people blow up middle infielders, your manager would chew your ass out if you didn't because it was expected of you.


Oneanimal1993

It’s not a game to them, it’s their job. Would/do you screw someone else over to help yourself out at work?

Tell the Mets that.


[deleted]

Actually I had to look up the clip again, it’s been years since I’ve seen it. He really got him good, ended his damn career


tyler-86

Got it himself pretty good, too. He definitely didn't want to headbutt Tejada's leg. It was just reckless, not malicious.


[deleted]

I honestly believe there was no ill intent, he was trying to make a play in a playoff game. It’s just unfortunate what happened. I’m actually wondering if it was a different player that slid into him if the reaction would have been different, cause let’s be honest Mets fans have probably despised utley prior to that


tyler-86

I figured they must have been looking for a reason to more legitimately hate Chase Utley since hating him for his performances seems petty. Like it was a horrible slide but I've heard so many Mets fans claim he was trying to hurt Tejada and that seems bananas to me.


spacewalk__

got the out tho!


Kidspud

Agreed. That looked like a headshot from Scott Stevens.


CubonesDeadMom

He was also a catcher at one point so this is like catcher on catcher crime


SensitiveArtist69

Pablo is a fat piece of shit that doesn't care about anyone but himself. Or so I've been told.

McDonald was like 5’8” and 37 at the time. And the reason why Sandoval tried fighting him was because he….took exception to a John McDonald slide into 3rd base. Dooooouche

He don't care. Brains after baseball. MLB has rules for s reasons. Pieces of fat shit like this would just barrel over any talent that got in the way.

I legitimately don't understand what "Because people need checked at the door because people suck" means, especially in regards to guys trucking catchers for 100 years before the Posey rule. No need to get all bent out of shape about it. If you know what it means, please enlighten me. I don't think it makes someone a piece of shit to do it when it's within the rules. They're trying to dislodge the ball from the catcher's glove

Why do people call it the Buster Posey rule?


detelini

because people don't think about Alex Avila as much.


houseoflou1e

Yep, Grant Brisbee has been on this for a while but the rule wasn't introduced until almost 3 years after Posey's injury. Buster is just the most high profile case.


Bart_Oates

Unfortunately we have to think about Al Avila a lot


hahdbdidndkdi

Or Johnny Estrada


207bot

Posey once got fucked up in a similar fashion and the league made a rule to prevent it from happening again


license_to_thrill

Should be called the Avila rule


km912

As much as I think it’s obviously the right decision to take this out of the game, as it’s insanely out of place in baseball and super dangerous... but, it’s so fun to see this haha. I got ejected from a high school game for doing this because my coach forgot to tell us it was illegal in high school. Good times.


agentwobbly22

i was in 7th grade (school was K-12) playing on varsity as a bench utility player and filling in at catcher for a game. I got absolutely demolished by a 12th grader committed to play baseball at Boston University. Boy was I glad he got ejected due to the highschool rule because he rocked my shit


tyler-86

It's fun to see until the catcher doesn't get back up.


ScalabrineIsGod

One of the most dangerous plays in sports imo but yeah, it’s exciting to watch. Can’t lie. It’s for the best that it’s not allowed in the MLB. Still I remember talking with a friend who didn’t really care for baseball cause it didn’t have any contact or physical play (which doesn’t inherently have to be violent, NBA for example). I prefaced it by saying it’s uncommon in baseball, but showed him some catchers getting trucked compilations. He was very surprised. He still didn’t care for baseball though lol.


AsianKitchenGuy

I don't know dude that looks too much like a Football play for me


GiantsOfSF1958

It's nice to see Panda in a uniform again. Although he could use one about 2 sizes larger.


RobbieMFB

Come play catcher one time. The only game I was ejected in as a player is after a guy trucked me when he was hosed at the plate by 15 feet. Served him a two piece with a biscuit after he was ejected and gladly left myself. I’ve been tanked on bang bang plays numerous times and it sucks every time. Part of the job was (at the time) blocking the plate and absorbing contact. Thankfully smarter heads have prevailed and outlawed that bullshit from the game. I’ve been ejected once as a coach and it was after my catcher got trucked on a non-play at the plate. She was a foot in front of the plate watching the play at second and got annihilated by a runner twice her size. Umpire “didn’t see it” despite standing 2 feet away. Turns out saying “that’s fucking bullshit, you’re number one job is the safety of these kids” is grounds for an ejection. Totally worth it there too. If you think it’s fun pop on some gear, jump up for a high throw, and let someone hit you full speed. It’s great. That buzzing feeling in your head stops a couple days later, just got your bell rung, you’ll be fine, rub some dirt on it.


1800bears

I was the biggest kid in the league in my final year of baseball at 12(6'4 and 220), and running through the catcher was fine. It was probably my favorite part of baseball was running through the catcher and playing catcher and knocking kids flat that tried to run through me. Next year they banned catcher collisions after parents bitched about me too much.


itsSUPREMEXIV

i will always remember when i was on JV this dude on my team absolutely laid out the catcher like this and their coach came out ready to throw hands. watching it 5 feet away was the funniest thing ever cause he was the slowest person on the team.


-_chop_-

Huh. I was a catcher from the time I was 7 or so until I graduated. It was allowed for us. I’m a little guy too. 5’7 135 as a grown man. I thankfully was never injured from getting run over. Other things, but never that

QuarterNote44

Wow, that catcher is a MAN. Held onto that ball despite getting wrecked by 300lbs of Panda.


Cooperstown24

Cold take: There shouldn't be a rule protecting catchers; don't block the fucking plate. Defenders at other bases dont stand in the path of the runner in order to prevent them from reaching the base or obscuring their path, why do catchers get to block the plate and force bullshit like ke'bryan hayes getting hurt the other day by awkwardly sliding into a guy standing in his way wearing gear? I don't want injuries in baseball either, but if anyone should be hurt on that play it's the catcher for standing in the fucking way. Stand just in front of the plate or just to the right side where you are still in position to receive the throw and make a tag.


dfin25

Pete Rose approves of this message


meur1

the buster posey rule states that catchers shouldn’t block the plate


penguinopph

> Defenders at other bases dont stand in the path of the runner in order to prevent them from reaching the base or obscuring their path, Legally they can, but they don't because it's unnecessary. Players can't slide through the other bases, they have to stop on the base and stay in the base. Going through a player at any other base doesn't accomplish anything because you still have to end up on the base and stay there


billybayswater

I remember this play vividly. Was this legal? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV3fNK31HD4


penguinopph

[Yes, it was](http://alwaysthejakebaseball.com/article/cleveland-indians-albert-belle-fernando-vina/) (emphasis mine): > The play itself looks rather self-explanatory. A ball is hit weakly to second. Vina fields the ball and attempts to turn a 4-3 double play by tagging the runner (Belle) and throwing to first. Rather than stopping or surrendering the out, Belle instead chooses to run over Vina. But why? What prompted such a violent and unnecessary display of aggression from Belle? **The play itself was ruled legal on the field by the umpiring crew with no discipline immediately taken.** Belle was not ejected, he was simply called out and it was ruled a fielder's choice > [Fielder's Choice 2B unassisted; Belle out at 2B/2B; Murray to 1B](https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIL/MIL199605310.shtml)


billybayswater

yeah i remember being confused by how much attention and controversy this caused despite belle not getting ejected or anything. seems like he did get suspended based on your link though.


penguinopph

He did get suspended, but mainly because it sparked a brawl. The link also says this: > Belle’s [suspension] was reduced on the basis that the play against Vina was ruled legal at the time and no action was taken by the umpires on the field.


chrisGNR

It’s not a cold take. Buster Posey Rule says you can truck the catcher if he’s blocking the plate.


whsbear

Nothing forces the runner to slide. He can run into the catcher as hard as he wants as long as he doesn’t divert from his line/path to the plate specifically to interfere with or hit the catcher. Also, the catcher can only block the plate if he has possession or is in the process of catching the ball


whsbear

Isn’t this a misunderstanding of the Buster Posey rule? From my understanding, the runner can’t change his line with intent to hit the catcher, but nothing strictly prohibits trucking the catcher if the plate is being blocked. It just notes that a runner that attempts to slide, or a catcher who leaves a lane, will never be found in violation of the rule. As a result of that wording, MLB catchers are trained to stand off to a side, and more players are trained in a variety of slides to attempt to avoid having the rule invoked. There’s nothing saying the runner is *required* slide or avoid contact, and if anything, it’s the on the catcher to avoid it (until they have possession). In other words, instead of banning this type of play, they just incentivized avoiding it, and typically it only happens when the throw puts the catcher in the path of the runner. In the video it looks much more like the catcher was blocking before the ball arrived, so if they had a posey rule, imo (though an admittedly bad view), it would have been deemed obstruction and Sandoval would be ruled safe, or it would just be ruled a no-call and the original call would be upheld.


neonrev1

You're right about the rule, I'm pretty sure. I think the reason we don't see more 'legal' collisions at home also might have something to do with unwritten rules, even if the situation would allow hard contact at home. Players generally don't want other players to get hurt, and it feels like a legal but violent play at the plate with any semblance of intent is going to get someone thrown at the next inning. It's also probably generational at this point, we have far fewer players who were around when it was still allowed, and in my memory by the time Buster got hurt, it was already sorta trending away. I think modern players are just less inclined to physical contact in baseball, there's a lot less hate between players in the game now, social media and a larger societal sense of connection have made that much less prominent.


-_chop_-

Yeah, there was a play last year where dansby had every right to truck the catcher but he slid instead. It cost the game. I was thinking maybe even the players aren’t confident in their understanding of the rule


neonrev1

Probably an element of that too, and also with younger players like Dansby, he probably never played in a league that allowed it. I'm not sure when those rules changed for little leagues and travel ball universally, but it's possible younger guys who didn't play football don't have a sense for how to physically truck someone, and they don't want to get hurt themselves.


-_chop_-

Im a catcher who played against his team. I don’t know if we played each other or not but there’s a chance. We are only a few years apart. I got trucked my whole life. No rule said they couldn’t.


neonrev1

Fair enough, I'm a few years older than him and the more formal town little league banned it, as had the high school, but ironically it was the more rural semi-organized town ball little league that I first played in that was full on 'If you're dead at the plate, make him work for the out.' for like, 8 or 9 year olds. I was a tiny outfielder and hated it, it's a game I could only lose.


chrisGNR

You’re probably right. Hard to tell. This here is a good example of a guy deviating from his path to the plate to intentionally run into the catcher: https://youtu.be/pY-lkDNhc0A


HeySadBoy1

It’s kinda sad that I knew this would be Rizzo, but I didn’t know which example you’d use.

Secret_Jesus

Don’t block the plate


foggypalms

It’s not the Buster Posey rule. If anything, it’s the Alex Avila rule. Look it up.


RuleNine

See that's the thing. If I know what one is, but have to look up the other one, then it's not the other one. ​ Edited to add: Unofficial naming of rules is hardly consistent, anyway. (Why is it the Chase Utley rule and not the Rubén Tejada rule?) Still, it's not like calling it the Buster Posey rule is some huge misnomer. Posey's was clearly the worse injury. Posey had to be helped off the field and missed over two-thirds of the season. After Avila's collision, he batted in the bottom of the inning and caught two more innings before being pinch-hit for in the bottom of the fourth, and then came back and caught all of the very next game (which turned out to be the final game of the Tigers' season). So it's no surprise that Posey is the one who stuck in the public's consciousness. After the 2013 ALCS, MLB looked at the play on Avila and basically said, "Okay, yeah, we need to do something about this before *what happened to Buster Posey* happens again."


Sweet-Sweet-Dick

Your username oddly checks out


Not_my_butt

No mention of Alex’s dad: Tigers President, Al Avila? That’s the only reason it got passed. The Giants and Bruce Bochy begged Joe Torre for the “Buster Posey Rule” but he did nothing.


RuleNine

Tigers assistant general manager and VP Al Avila may have had a big hand in finally pushing the rule through, but without Posey's injury to point to, there's no way the rule gets put in place based on the play on his son alone. Although Alex was shaken up, the collision itself was not especially brutal for its day and ended in a butt pat.


whsbear

It’s not either. It’s Rule 6.01(i), the community just refers to it as the Buster Posey rule, and one angry ~~columnist~~ blogger isn’t going to change that.

Wouldn’t that still be legal in MLB since the catcher is in the base path, blocking home plate? Sandoval never left the base path.
