Wouldn't it be awesome to Pinch run a guy at third for a huge 200lbs +and just Terry Tate the catcher.?

Question

In a sac fly situation and then have people on second and first advance :)

i meant 300 sry

Answer 1

Here's the first problem with that. It would cause drastic injury to an opponent. And that could lead to a few of your best hitters getting plunked when they come to the plate.

Here's the second problem with that. No team is willing to sacrifice a spot on the bench for William Perry. You need to have that left-handed bat to come off the bench; or that 13th pitcher when your bullpen gets spent.

Here's the third problem with that. It makes more sense to use that bench spot for a guy who can beat the throw, a speed guy. The speed guy is going to be a lot more useful. Where do you put the Fridge if he has to go into the field? There is no place for a defensive tackle in baseball.

In short, it might look cool to watch Rod Barajas get plowed over, but it does more harm to the game than good.

Answer 2

There are plenty of major leaguers over 200 lbs., and there have been many awesome collisions at the plate over the years. Just ask A.J. Pierzinski.

Answer 3

no

thats stupid

real fans wanna see the speedy runner beat the throw with a great slide at home, not barrel over the catcher

go watch football bro

Answer 4

No the umpire would just simply toss the runner out and probably the other runners too.

Answer 5

If the catcher was AJ Pierzynski or Yadier Molina, I would pay money to see it....and then I would laugh.

Answer 6

if alex rodriguez becomes a catcher...i'll personally play baseball

(i'm a rugby player)

Answer 7

There's a term for people like you.

That term is "football fan".

Go surf the NFL websites, please.
