That is just BS. You an apply a tag legally and still get spiked. Getting spiked is a job hazard for middle infielders, to be expected from time to time.

A hazard? Maybe. I don't remember ever seeing a player get spiked while making a tag, though I won't deny that it does happen.

I have seen many players hit by pitchers. Several of them had to leave the game - some with broken bones. It would seem that a pitched ball is a much greater hazard. Maybe we should suggest the use of Nerf balls.

Say what? It is a good thing you won't deny and obvious you have never played middle infield.

Whether I have or haven't played a middle infield position has no relevance in this discussion.
