South Side Hit Men Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) One of the few rules changes that makes sense the past four years. Edited February 15 by South Side Hit Men 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 "In the act of the receiving the ball" will be the new argument. What's that? When the ball is on it's way to the base? When the ball is 10 feet from the glove? That's a grey area altogether. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Good. This was the situation that injured Robert in 2022. He basically lost half a season because Schoop decided to put his knee right in front of the base before he got the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Base stealers should go in feet first, not head first. That would discourage blocking the base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would discourage blocking the base. going head first to home is by far the best use case for it. They should just enforce the rule to not block the base.
