Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2828394, member: 8988"] As to this jumping to take out defenders, I'm a bit of 2 minds on this one. On the 1 hand, it is spectacular to watch, but on the other, it really encourages the defenders to do a thing which is basically banned: that of shepherding. Ok , so technically, they arent, but players to position themselves to protect the catcher whilst the attackers are encourages to do the opposite and impede him. Its meant to be a contest of leaping and catching, but has deteriated into a choreographed ballet of players timing their imposition or protections of catchers, which are 9/10 the defenders. The attacking "catcher" is purely to disrupt the defending catcher, UNLESS he doesn't compete. Then its a game of tying up before he passes. I guess I prefer the idea, that you follow the rules, playing to win, rather than basically "gaming" them. [/QUOTE]
