Buster Posey shows its time for MLB to consider Tim McCarver rule for protecting catchers
McCarver's suggestion: Any baserunner who goes after a catcher's head in your own home plate ought to be automatically ejected and fined,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his run taken off the board.
"I'm all for this,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," La Russa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an associate of baseball's special committee for on-field matters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], told McCarver before an MLB on FOX broadcast.
When the McCarver Rule have been in place,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Marlins' Scott Cousins would have risked ejection for barreling into Posey the way he did on Wednesday night.
Cousins struck Posey between your catcher right shoulder and his head,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The force from the collision knocked off Posey helmet and fractured Posey's left leg.
Posey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one of the game's bright young stars,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], suffered a broken fibula and severely strained ligaments. He will require surgery on his ankle and miss at least six to eight weeks.
Cousins didn't go directly for Posey's head. But McCarver said Thursday the rule might be for hits above the shoulder or even across the shinguard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], given that catchers tend to be in a crouch when they're hit.
McCarver, a major-league catcher for 21 seasons, said the concept occurred to him after he spoke this past year with former Cardinals catcher Mike Matheny, who was forced to retire because of concussion symptoms.
"Baseball ought to be protecting the catcher like football protects the quarterback,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," McCarver said.
"Obviously,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can make a case that the catcher in baseball is not as important as quarterback in football. But I'm not sure about this. There is a dearth of good catching entering the overall game."
McCarver, after receiving positive feedback from La Russa when he initially broached the idea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said he proposed it to Angels manager Mike Scioscia at last year's All-Star Game.
Sciosia, an old major-league catcher who was renowned for his skill at blocking home plate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is also a member of the special committee for on-field matters.
He didn't care for McCarver's proposed rule change,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Scioscia explained he didn't like it," McCarver said. "He said the main reason he didn enjoy it was that (blocking home plate) was the last vestige of courage the game has.
"I thought it was well-put,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I didn't agree with it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I still think something ought to be done."
The play on which Posey suffered his injuries began when the Marlins' Emilio Bonifacio hit a flyball to shallow right field,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
McCarver said that on the ball hit to right, the proper play for any catcher is to initially yield area of the plate for a runner to slide into,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then "close down" after catching the ball.
Posey set up in front from the plate, giving Cousins plenty of room to slip. But Cousins went suitable for Posey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who failed to control right fielder Nate Schierholz's throw on the short hop even before getting hit.
"If you eliminate any shots, you eliminate cheap shots,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," McCarver said. "You force the runner to slide straight in or go to the lower area of the body.
