    11:47 This is the best Home Plate Collision play imo. Top of the 9th, Reds' tying run charges, cannon throw home, Cameron Rupp catches the ball within milliseconds of getting clobbered, holds on to get the game-tying runner out, and the Phillies secure the win. Plus the fans' and commentator's reactions were spot on. It was all perfect in execution.

      And catchers are normally big, plodding dudes. I hit 3 of them in my playing time. One was high school, two were single A. I was out 2 of those and only knocked one of them back. At 165lbs, I didn't have the momentum that the 240lb specimens who play in the majors have. I was an emergency catcher(I caught until high school when I was switched to short) and fortunately none of my games included a collision. I probably would have just stepped aside.

      @codyferrell1031 3 роки тому

      But it’s kinda no point.. well I guess it depends on arm length. If you have above average length arms like (74”), one could grab a ball and do a tag anywhere near home plate without covering it. At least how I am imagining it in my mind and myself playing the position. Because fucked getting rocked like literally all of these clips haha

    • @staidenofanarchy
      @staidenofanarchy 3 роки тому +1

      @@codyferrell1031 Up until the Posey play, you were taught to block the plate to prevent the runner getting a hand in. Look at a lot of these plays, the catcher is literally sitting on home plate and there's nowhere to go but right through him, that was the best strategy to make absolutely damn sure that run wasn't scoring. With the new rule, they do essentially what you described.
      I remember I was taught to literally put my butt on top of the plate and brace myself, because if you can see the train on the tracks it's already too late to get off lol.

    • @billny33
      @billny33 2 роки тому

      @@codyferrell1031 I think the other thing to consider is if you didn't really try to block the plate then the runner might see that and decide he can get under the tag with a feet first slide and if you can't get that glove low when you reach for the runner (and at that point it depends on your position and the angle he takes and all kinds of other variables, when/where the ball gets there etc), he probably gets his feet in. So you might avoid the pain but then your unwillingness to sacrifice the body could lead to giving up that run. Its quite a dangerous game you play at that point, literally and figuratively. But if you don't want to piss off your coach or any of your teammates its block the plate and hope for the best. Brutal, I know.

    That hit at 1:15 was the 1970 all star game. Pete rose fractured ray fosse’s shoulder. He never played in an all star game again and struggled with injuries for the next several years before retiring. Apparently his shoulder didn’t heal properly and caused him pain for the rest of his career.

    • @alan30189
      @alan30189 5 років тому +9

      Yep, and many criticized Rose for that hit, since it was an "exhibition game." Well, since it was an exhibition game, Fosse should have gotten the hell out of the way and he would have never gotten hurt. He knew how Rose plays.
      I had someone try a "Pete Rose" on me when playing softball, years ago. I was the catcher and saw this guy bearing down in my peripheral vision as I waited for the ball. He was dead meat by six feet, and I was able to brace myself and let him have it, leaning into him hard. We both went flying, but I am sure he got the raw end of the deal, since I was 6'5" and about 210lbs at the time. He was out by a mile. I was not hurt at all.

  • @qwilliams1539
    @qwilliams1539 6 років тому +148

    There's a big difference between running into the catcher because he's completely blocking the plate and you have no where to go to try and score and going out of your way to injure the catcher so you can go back to home plate after the catcher was taken out to be safe. Nyger Morgan would have been safe had he slid. Mark Teixeira would have been safe had he slid. Cousins would have been safe had he slid to the back of home plate. All of these instances and others shown in here, the runner had already decided that the only way they would be safe was if they deliberately tried to injure the catcher and go back to home plate after the collision. If the players were only colliding with the catcher when they had no where to go, the rule change would not have occurred. But the fact is that too many were deliberately trying to injure the catchers and the rule change had to happen. Go ahead and blame the "bleeding-hearts," "pussies," "liberals,"... and who ever else. The people responsible for this rule change were all the players who were deliberately trying to injure the catcher when a collision was completely unnecessary.

      CocoJones397 i don’t think you see his point... “committing” doesn’t mean the runner must run into the catchers, just as the 1st commenter said- runners can still try their hardest to get to home base by sliding. but intentionally running into the catcher at these speeds to try and mess up their catch and to get base is not commitment, but unsportsmanlike and can lead to bad injuries.

He was only a catcher for the Twins, otherwise he was an outfielder. That hit was the best defensive play of his career as a catcher.

    This is was so crazy that this was part of the game for so long. Just got 250 lb dudes getting a 87 foot runway to build up steam and crash into the catcher and see if he can hold on to the ball or not. A lot of times the catchers are on their knees too or are just receiving the ball so they are not able to fully see when the collision is coming. Thankfully plays at the plate are rare but when they happened it was like a sanctioned car crash for the catcher and for the runner it was crash into him as hard as you can and see if you can get him to drop the ball.

    1:21 *This* particular collision is where Buster Posey broke a fibula & tore 2 ligaments in his ankle. Resulting in season-ending surgery. In response to this, the MLB made rule changes to help eliminate Home Plate collisions. Which would be known as the _"Buster Posey Rule"._
    Losing Buster to this incident had major repercussions for the Giants that Season (2011) because he was a major part of their roster. When he came back for the 2012 Season, he would become an integral part of the Giant's run for the championship.

      New mlb rules do not outlaw blocking the plate as long as the catcher has possession of the ball, or is in the process of fielding the ball. In these cases, a base runner can still collide with the catcher if it is unavoidable. It is up to the umpires judgement. If a catcher has possession and still blocks the plate, the runner can still collide if it judged as unavoidable.

He was my catcher but he also played center field and he was our “Wild thing.” I once saw him wildly and uncontrollably throw a ball from center field over the backstop over 350-feet away [at the age of 16]. And as a catcher, he was fearless. He was a golden glove boxer and he had no fear, especially when it came to standing on top of the plate with a runner coming home. I was a good pitcher, but Bruce was a great catcher. Christ, I miss those days…back when boys were men and men were men.

      @@danielprice4004 actually, I did play catcher when I was 10 years old. But that was the last time. I don't think there was a lot of punishment.

    This comes with the territory if you play catcher. Same with slides into second or SS. It's part of the game. It's what makes baseball gritty and ballsy. Shame they keep pussifying the game.

    Gotta give these catchers credit for basically risking their life for their team to get guys out at home plate. Well done mlb catchers

      The catchers rarely ever risk their lives. Football players have had their helmets knocked off and hit directly by someone else’s helmets. Rugby has guys face planted into the ground. Baseball is no where near the amount of injures as other sports

      Bobby Lawson hurt the sport? Doesn’t belong in the sport. Keeping the players safe is way more important than people’s entertainment
