Quote from Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, WGN Sports (CWS):
This is something that's going to have to be changed. It's too ambiguous. It's going to leave it up to where it's a decision made by a crew in New York, so to speak. But it's not definitive enough, the rule is just not definitive enough. First of all, it's a bad rule, that's number one... So we'll see how long this takes... After the game last night, I got a couple of texts about comments made about catchers getting hit. Well, it's part of the game, it always has been and in my opinion, it's a bad rule. You had a couple of guys, Buster Posey being one and Yadier Molina, got hit real hard a couple of times, but there have been a lot of ball games won by knocking the ball out of the catcher's hand. People forget about the runner. The runner, most of hte time, is going to take more of a hit than the catcher. The catcher is going to bury you. Scioscia, Tennis, they're going to bury you. I would say probably over the course of my career, more runners were hurt than catchers. In my opinion, if Buster Posey had not taken that hit, we would have not had this rule. That's just my opinion... It's just not definitive enough, it's going to be an umpire crew in New York's discretion. And now, Robin is going to come out and absolutely... Boy, I tell you, this is what I'm talking about right here. This rule is BS, pure simple BS. They cannot have a crew of umpires in New York making this decision even with the video they have. It's just a bad rule, it's a bad rule, it's just that simple. I tell you, that's just - it's not baseball, it's just not baseball. Just like they're trying to do things in football. What're they going to make that, a little girls' game? He's got the line just like Posey had last night... This rule is going to cause so many problems, it's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. It's a terrible rule, it's just that simple... Unbelievable really, it's not baseball. Boy I tell you what, this is one of those times I wish I could cuss. Unbelievable. They're going to have to get four impartial people in New York, not umpires, to make those decisions... One out, two on and a one-one tie - because of that ridiculous rule. Next thing you know, we're going to have catchers wearing skirts out there... Quintana who pitched terrific, a recipient of a ridiculous call. He departs and we'll be back.
