That was quite a hit....

Punter.

Who was one of the Panthers involved with steroids? Todd Sauerbraun, punter.


Shame all Horacio did was throw behind him. They should have at least plunked him. Maybe try to aim for his hand so it fractures something.

You take the mask off once the ball is in play.

Plunk him and he probably would have been tossed

Ramirez thew behind Erstad last night, as to say the Braves didn't like it but its part of the game, both benches warned....problem solved.

At younger levels you do, most younger levels have rules that the runner is automatically out if there is a play at the plate and he does not slide. If he barrells into the catcher he is ejected, most ejections result in an additional two game suspension.

Estrada had his mask on still but the mask is designed to protect the catcher from a baseball not a 220lb person running at full speed, its no where near as padded as say a football helmet is.

Dola - I got to see the replay about 10 times last night, opposed to the 1 time I saw it previously. After further review I don't really have problem with the contact areas anymore, maybe a little with the shoulder first part but nothing more. I do see it not necessary though, the right side of the plate was open and with the throw coming from rightfield it would have taken a miracle for him to be out at the plate.
