Erstad - Estrada Collision at the plate

[UmpJM]

Tim,

Thanks for your comments.

I fear that your assessment will ultimately prove to be correct.

Yet, I foolishly cling to the naive and ill-founded hope that Mr. Watson has remained silent thus far only because he is in deep contemplation regarding the severity of the penalty that will be imposed on Erstad. Time will tell.

I'm quite familiar with the precedents regarding collisions in MLB play. This one struck me as a little different.

Sometimes I just can't help saying what I think. Besides, I'm more in it for the fun than the money - except to the extent that it "supports my habit" in acquiring rules interpretation books & such, of course.
