Blocking the Plate
from Talkin' Mets · host Talkin Mets with Mike Silva
MLB has been messing with the rules and trying to legislate everything for the last decade. The ambiguity creates problems, and we saw that this year with the McNeil-Hoskins incident and now with Alonso and the blocking the plate scenario on Wednesday. Mike explains why this is an example of how overreaction to one play and fear of social media outcry makes things worse.
