Absolutely good news. I know it was meant to add to the excitement somewhat, and in previous years who could complain? Buster Posey's collision was incredibly exciting. Whole games can come down to it, but that shit is terrifyingly dangerous, and both the runner and the catcher knew it, and games shouldn't be decided by it. People are guaranteed to act like this is the end of baseball, but we know that's horseshit, just like when football banned horsecollaring. We'll look back in a few years and wonder why the hell it wasn't banned earlier.
