    for as long as this stays up, its a great analysis of HOME PLATE COLLISIONS

    John Brenkus shows the science of a collision at the plate between a runner and a catcher

    Sport Science: Plate Collisions


    [video]http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6594536[/video]

    compared to NFL tackle: runner reaches top speed of 18mph down 3rd base line, impact at home plate produces over 3200lbs of force! catcher launched 10ft. Impact harder than blind side hit on QB!(and football pads reduce collision force by 40%)

    Not that I am aware of....normal days off...couple following foul tip nicks, etc. Nothing serious.

    ESPN's medical analysis of injury and recovery time. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6597580&categoryid=2564307

    that said, he was dropped immediately in my league...I waited several hours for more news, and signed him as FA. Willing to take a shot with dead roster spot to see if he comes back in Sept for playoff run (ie. my playoff run for sure)

    When McClouth can go on the DL with a strained oblique he got in the on deck circle it is good to see old school baseball is not quite dead yet.
