I genuinely don't understand the "excitement" argument. I love a perfectly-executed hook slide or a late deke, but there's nothing exciting about big players running into each other. More often a beautiful throw/cutoff from the outfield is ruined when the rules allow a 215-pounder to smash the fuck out of a catcher who's had the ball for three seconds.
