    Out at the plate....

    As a huge Jays fan I used to be a ticket subscriber in the

    80's. This stopped after the strike.

    I was a huge fan of Jesse Barfield who had a wicked arm

    from right field. He used to throw out guys at the plate tagging

    up from third all the time.

    Many other outfielders were also great at getting an assist at the

    plate.

    My observation is this, It seems today like the tag up from

    third to home is almost being conceded by the fielders.

    There is rarely a play at the plate anymore.

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    Is this another example of rich athletes getting lazy

    and killing the game?

      Baseball has lagged greatly over the years, not like it used to be--all the players worry about 'ME'

          Ever hear of Torii Hunter?

          You don't run on that arm.

                      lmfao...I do agree with you...in this day and age...it's not so much the arms that people fear...but the collisions...these bums don't want to risk their millions...

                          Good post guwapo...I was actually thinking about this as well...the other day...not a lot of collisions at the plate...and the few that there are...are preached on ESPN like some kind of miracle...or POY

                                      Makes me remember the days of the Montreal Expos when they had one of your better defensive outfields in Ellis Valentine, Warren Cromartie, and Andre Dawson. They all had the guns.

                                      I used to just lose my mind when the old Street And Smiths use to come out.
