Guys, this is baseball...not soccer or volleyball. Plus, the dude is a catcher. If you don't want to get plowed over in a spring training game, don't block the plate. If you put yourself in that position you are asking to get cracked. If the guy from Tampa let up and went in softly or slid around the catcher he could just have easily gotten injured (hand/elbow/shoulder to knee of catcher hurts person sliding, not the catcher). Also, Joe Girardi has nothing to say here. There is no bigger "red-ass" in baseball right now...plus he was a catcher. He should know full well that his man is not out there in a red jersey or a skirt. Sheesh.
