He's a throwback player. Dude held the ball so credit to him.

(22,143 posts)3. That's only the fifth time he's been thrown out at home…
When trying to score from second on a base hit. He's 118 for 123 in his career.

Helpless catcher gets bulldozed. It's fucking stupid that they allow it to happen.

(31,167 posts)5. The catcher doesn't have to block home plate
He can play in front, like Posey does, provided the throw comes soon enough to apply a tag. If not, you're ceding the run ... kind of.
I don't know what else you can do.

(31,167 posts)7. How can you touch home plate if someone is sitting on top of it?
