I actually think I get more excited over a triple/SB or throwing a runner out at at the plate than anything else. I wish they still allowed home plate collisions. Just a personal preference though.

I agree with both points but when players make as much money as they do now I understand why owners want to change the rules up to protect their highly paid investment. Had the Buster Posey incident happened to a Colorado Rockies (or insert your non relevant player on the national scale) it wouldn’t have been a big much like had Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers incidents happened to a Blake Bortles or Alex Smith it wouldn’t have led to rule changes. I think this was crux of starting to baby pitchers began when they started making so much money and it’s better to pay that much money towards a guy who throws 6 innings rather than pay him to be on the DL.

Good points. I'm just speaking purely from an entertainment perspective those plate collisions were fun to watch.

Too funny. Manners get only seven total hits in three games this weekend. That’s ridiculous. Also all this talk about controlling the zone and we lead the league in strikeouts?

I actually like this but its more funny then anything. In reality someone else getting the playing time is a good thing

And it saves Mariners a few hundred thousand since they were most likely going to cut him anyways. Test Felix, test Felix...lol.

This is what I was thinking with no August waiver wire trading. DFA'ing players that may surprise people.
