Would you ask for help?

That would be nothing but trouble. But, speeds up the game b/c the catcher just has to tag the runner now. No need to throw it. And, imagine how many more DPs would occur b/c the catcher would just tag HP and tag the runner who is lying on the ground in pain next to him.

As I tell my teen age daughter, a little extreme. (tongue in cheek here now), I see lots of players laying on the ground after a batted ball hits them ...
