A runner who is either not savvy or who expects that the Umpire to "help him out". But it seems to me that there is no rule for the Umpire to act on here if the pitcher is not balking and is...

It took the death of a young girl at a hockey game to motivate the NHL to install nets. How many had died before then? None?

Maybe one death wasn't enough for you. Didn't make it "worth it", I...

When some person (especially someone in the stands) is killed, the number of games played to that point will be small consolation to the family of the diseased. And MLB won't be able to say that...

It's just a metter of time before someone is killed. Then MLB will be forced to take action (and defend itself for its inaction to that point).

It seems to me that the runner is applying his max braking effort before the touch. It's not like the coach tapped him to get his attention, he already had it.

It is asking a lot of Marquez to...

He got in the game tonight - 8th inning in an 8 to 2 game. Struck out the first batter and got two ground outs. Something like 10 out of 11 for strikes. Touched 102 on the gun.

You don't declare, "I hate the Cardinals." and then go trying to act buddy-buddy the next day at the game.

Molina actually might have saved him from getting plunked in the head.

Nets will help the people in the stands, but the broken bats affect game play, which they should not. Some player is going to get seriously hurt.

Phillips was running his mouth yesterday and then pulls that crap at the start of the game. He's a punk who needs to learn how to conduct himself properly.

These bats are know to shatter into some nasty, pointy shards. It's only a matter of time until a player gets seriously injured (I'm thinking impaled). MLB knows this and is taking a risk by doing...
