These are some of the worst ones I've seen. Some of them had to end up in an ER.

Mr. Perfect

Doesn't look like he was ever tagged with the ball, nor did he hit the plate. Out?

Laredo Lefty

He was out. Molina's glove touched him during the collision and the ball was in the glove. No need to tag him with the ball, just tag him with the glove holding the ball.

Thats why they get paid the BIG BUCKS, they play hard. Molina did his job, block the plate and take the hit, but get the runner out in the process.

Block the plate get smacked.

and Yadi held onto the ball. Football meets baseball at home plate.

Yadi is also having an ankle issue that he has been dealing with prior to this.

Check out this link:

It shows the play in slow motion from different angles. You see Harrison lower his body, put his forward leading arm across his body to protect it and turn his head while he throws his shoulder into Yadi.

Now, I'm not saying it was intentional, mind you, but a picture is worth a thousand words. [:(!]

I was watching the game and sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see if and when Westbrook would let the Bucs know that this was not appreciated. Game three of the series tonight.

guess I missed that.

Mr. Perfect

Yep, watching again, I see the glove hit him.

and it says in teh article that he was out [:D]

Oakie

He was blocking the plate like a catcher is supposed to do and got run over. Both guys know how to play the game. Good play and he was definitly out.
