You're still allowed to plow into a catcher. Catchers just can't block the plate until they have the ball.

For reals? I feel like I havn't seen that at all since the Posey rule happened

Yep, still allowed.

My guess why we don't see it much anymore is that if the catcher has enough time to receive the ball and make a legal block they're probably in pretty good position to protect. Also managers/owners don't want their players getting injured on a high risk play.

Seriously, someone needs to make a graphic or something about just how many 1-2-3 innings the Cubs have had during the post season.

this game was loving winnable if they could get more than one goddamn hit in an inning

it's hard to get too upset, dodgers were clearly the better team, pretty amazing to make it back to the NLCS.

I assume they couldn't figure out which camera to put on the broadcast. They cycled to the bullpen camera a couple of times for no real reason in between the blank screens.

They've gotta pitch around him here, right?

Nope. We just watched reality glitch. Cubs gonna get out of this inning and score 20 runs in the next. Then the Toronto Blue Jays are going to win the World Series

CAUTION: POST QUALITY UNDER CONSTRUCTION



So with how good/rested the Dodgers seem to be at this point in the season, will other teams likely start to use the DL rule change similar to what the Dodgers did this season in order to rest regulars, or will MLB clamp down on it?

Honestly just curious, not criticizing, since it does seem like they're easily the most rested team of the four remaining.

That play could theoretically come back to be crucial in a universe where the Cubs are capable of scoring two more runs in the next three innings
