MLB General Discussion (Official Thread)

All these years I thought catchers throwing wide of first to avoid hitting the runner was the right thing to do. Now MLB catchers are stupid if they don't all throw to the middle of the bag in the hopes that they hit the runner.

IMO the runner should only be out if they are out of the baseline or make some unnatural motion to get in the way of the ball being caught. If the umps applied a rule correctly with that play, it was incredibly stupid.
