and why would you slide head first into the plate when the catcher is blocking the path? I'd have dropped a shoulder into Shoppach's knee and gotten the run home

 

Shoppach is a bit of a brick wall. I wouldn't lower my shoulder against that guy.

The knee is weakest when hit from the lateral aspect. I dont care how much of a brick wall he is, you get him in the knee that is blocking the plate and he drops like a ton of bricks. Catchers who leave their leg in the path of a runner when the ball is en route run the risk of destroying said leg. You cannot say it is inhumane or weak or whatever. It is a part of the game, and if Francouer scored the way I recommended, he'd be fine instead of injured and the game would be tied

What the hell kinda' lead did Byrd take there anyway. Don't think he would have made it if the pitcher went home.

Yeah we get it, you hate the Sox. Believe me we've seen enough losing for a long time. Sorry Francuer didn't put Shoppach on the DL and give his team the lead.

I do hate the sox, but it makes no sense to go in headfirst to a catcher that is blocking the plate. It's just dumb

If V waits till the bases are loaded or the Royals are ahead tonight the top of my head is going to come off.

You seem like a nice guy and you are very baseball knowledgable, I actually agree with alot of things you say but if you admittedly hate this team, why do you come here?
