09:01 AM ET 06.05 | Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench said Buster Posey "put himself in such a bad position" before he was trampled by Scott Cousins in his season-ending collision. In an interview with the Tulsa World, Bench said he teaches catchers to move off the plate before a close play to make the runner think about sliding instead of colliding.

Take it from Johnny!!!!!!!!!
Baseball's been played the same way for a very long time.... Now all of a sudden (cause a high profile Catcher gets hurt) we're gonna change the game?
If a high profile pitcher takes a come backer off the Melon are we gonna put pitchers behind screens?
Preach on Johnny!!!!!!!

Bench knows what he is talking about. Posey should have been towards the pitchers's mound, not in the baseline.
...the best policy

Better yet PUT IN A SECOND HOME PLATE FOR THE RUNNER.Also NO SLIDEING. Also the runner can over run a base,because their is NO SLIDEING do to the fact someone could get hurt.Make the game like playing in over 50 year old slow pitch softball leauge.

Wait...it looks like Atro is still working the case. He must know something the great J Bench doesn't.
