As old school thinking as I am, I feel the new verbage of the rule betters the game. Many of the nastiest collisions at the plate has been from runners going after the catcher and not trying for the plate, as well from catchers intentionally blocking the plate with out the ball. Both of those have been adressed. There will still be contact at the plate and I'm fine with that. I just wast the mallicious intent contact out of the game.--- At the end of the day, it's still an umpire judgement call.
