PrintFirst things first, Sorry this took awhile to get posted. SBNation is going through some issues with uploading files to the server and things kept timing out. As a workaround I ended up having to split the file into two parts and submitted each file to a tech team member at SBNation. So a big thanks goes out to Kristen at SBnation for all the help, and I hope you are able to sort out the issues.
This podcast was recorded on August 2nd before Brett Lawrie's call up, again I apologize for the delay.
The podcasts are up on iTunes, please just be sure to grab both parts 1 and 2, I made sure to make a announcement at the beginning and end of the first part as well as a notice at the beginning of the second.

I think you'll find I'm universally recognised as a mature and responsible adult.
Twitter is the thing with all the tweets...
quite literally minutes before we started, he was on the call and dropped.

Collisions/Blocking the plate
I don’t understand why this is still part of the game. In fastpitch softball, even at the highest levels, running the catcher is illegal, resulting in an out, and if judged to be deliberate, an ejection.
On the other side, it is considered obstruction if the fielder blocks any base (including home plate) without the ball. If the fielder has the ball, they have every right to block the base, and the runner has to go around and cannot deliberately try to dislodge the ball (by hitting the glove, or colliding with the fielder). If this happens, the runner is out for interference (and if judged to be deliberate and with great force, the runner is ejected).
With the amount of money that the players make, it is silly for them to be putting themselves into harm’s way like a catcher does when blocking the plate.
By implementing fastpitch softball’s rules, the onus is placed on the fielder before they receive the ball to make sure the runner has a clear path to the base/plate, and on the runner after the fielder has the ball to not deliberately attack a fielder who is only trying to make a play.
