After a collision at the plate. His leg went the wrong way, doesn't look good at all.

Scott Cousins had no reason to do that takedown. POS. Posey left him the whole outside of home plate. He went in to injure.
I am pissed.

Same type of play, Santana's was a bit more disgusting.
Clean play, Giants fans can't possibly cry about that being intent to harm and justify it. Posey was positioned perfectly, he was not allowing the outer corner as a previous poster claimed, and he was full well prepared for the catch and tag on any play at the plate. Cousins did what any ball player should do on that play, go straight on in there and steamroll the catcher. Unfortunate timing for Posey, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with that play.
I was at the game and saw Cousins coming straight down the line. No chance for him to do anything but what he did, throw beat him and it all happened in just a few seconds. Never heard a ballpark that quiet.

I wouldn't call that a "Clean play".

I am neither a Giants fan nor a Marlins fan... especially given my team allegiance. That being said, the catcher had barely gotten the ball, was blocking the plate and bobbling the ball, in the 12th inning of a tie game. The catcher blocked the plate, so the runner attempted to dislodge the ball.
Clean play.
Clean play.

Catcher is protecting the plate and the runner wants to score. Pretty sure the runner doesnt have the time to run scenarios through his mind on how he can score without injuring the catcher. Its instinct so analyzing the film to figure out if it was dirty makes little sense to me especially since the opposing team's manager said it was clean. It's the hazard of being a catcher.

This is why I wouldn't play catcher. Id want to pull a Michael Barrett every time there was a home plate collision.
This was a clean play. I hope Buster's ankle isn't in too bad of shape. I would think that a major ankle injury would make it very difficult to play catcher. Jason Kendall was able to come back and play the position, but he had a long recovery and was never the same hitter.

Get in the way - prepare to get hit.
It's funny seeing people calling this "dirty", but the Swisher hit at the beginning of the season on the second baseman was "totally clean".
This is as clean is it gets... it's not like Cousins is just going to stop and say "Okay. Tag me."
