Was this a heads up play or a cheap shot?

That was a love tap compared to the Posey collision.

Not a cheap shot. This was just the way Rose played the game. He only knew one speed....all out all of the time.

Why would it be a cheap shot? This happens all the time. What am I missing?

Probably because it was the All Star game. Different era though. Those teams actually really cared who won that game, and took it way more seriously than they do now, even though the all star games recently "count."

All Star game or not, if you are going to block the plate, expect to get plowed.

Agreed. What was Pete supposed to do? Just stop and wait to get tagged?

Dirty? No.
Dangerous to the catcher and himself? Yes.
Did I love it? Yes.
Would I hope the AL would do it? Yes.

Yeah, I am not saying it is dirty, I agree with you. Just providing a reason why one might say it was dirty.

Now, if it happened during the all star games now, I think there would be all kinds of uproar.

Well, that would have been the nice, sportsmanlike thing to do. And then they all could have gone out for ice cream together.

It wasn't a cheap shot.

It also wasn't a heads up play.

It was exactly what was supposed to happen every time that scenario presents itself in an MLB game.

Always looked to me that he was going to slide, looked up and saw no where to slide, lost his balance, stumbled and protected himself against the collision that he was going to cause.

Big difference between one happening in an All Star exhibition and the other in a regular season game.

Thanks. For some reason sometime I cannot attach an embedded link. I just get cyptic drivel. Other times it works.
