harkness99 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I was arguing with my dad about this last year - and this injury to Robert made me think about it again - eventhough its not directly the cause. The concept of "bases" needs to be changed and adjusted - I know major league baseball is already increasing the size of bases, but i feel like with faster and bigger players you are going to see more injuries from running to 1st base. Running full speed at a 3 dimensional object that is portruding from the ground.. yeah its not very high and soft.. but still. Think about that in basketball or football and how if there was a piece of turf portruding or something on the court, its highly dangerous, Yet in baseball its a purposeful part of the game. Maybe im crazy but seems like something that could be fixed somewhat easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I don't disagree, but just to be clear, Robert was injured a couple steps before he got to the base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then you see him on one leg hoping into the base... he could have blew his knee out on top of it.
