“Buster is laying in front of home plate, and it’s like having a disabled car in the middle of a four-lane highway. You’re just going to get smacked.”

“You know what, it wasn’t a dirty play, he didn’t come high spikes, he didn’t come high elbow, but it wasn’t a necessary play. He was hunting. Buster gave him an option and he didn’t take it.”

“(Fosse) Doesn’t think Scott Cousins needed to ram into Posey to score the go-ahead run Tuesday night.”
From USA Today’s Daily Pitch. Fosse knows a little bit about getting hit hard at the plate.
The validity of the play is in the eye of the observer.
Released about an hour ago:
Buster Posey:
“I appreciate the continued support of Giants fans and others as I begin the process of working my way back. But in no way do I condone threats of any kind against Scott Cousins or his family.
“As I said last week, I’m not out to vilify Scott. I appreciate that he made the effort to reach out to me on the night of the play, but I was in no physical condition to talk to anyone. I have not been back with the team since that night, so I haven’t even been aware of any other messages he’s left for me. We all need to move on, so it isn’t necessary to have a conversation with him at this point.
“My only focus right now is looking forward, getting healthy and returning to catching for the Giants.”

Good for Posey. Now everyone — including me — but not you Karen — should just hush.
Oh and President Obama should invite Posey and Cousins to the White House for a beer.
Nah, I’ll pipe down too.
And lol at the next beer summit idea. I like it!
