Granted, the player is not supposed to be in the base path, but there are also rules in place protecting the runner. If you honestly believe a runner has a right to lay out a defender, IMO, you are working the wrong game.

You know, sometimes you are so full of crap irish. Why is that? Why are you built that way? As a state UIC you have potential.. and then, you come up with your BS when you have no argument. Stick to the facts.

I favor the rule as it is and have fended off your idiotic childish vitrol since. Do you have argument that is not vitrol? 15th innning and lay out the catcher.. that is so lame you should be ashamed of yourself to be using it as your banner argument for your little lame rule change.

Spare me your handwringing about the children and tell me why the heck I need an out if the defender does have the ball and potentially not even close to having the ball? A punitive out that every skinny little idiot 3B coach wants and argues for.. but doesnt know the rule... every time a runner brushes/knocks a little bit his catcher standing in the way.

its obs and you are whimping wanting an out for a little tap.

Thats the point of the rule.

We dont need an out and we can already eject them if it reaches that level.
