Im not one to ever wish harm upon anyone or be ok with injuries, but if Nate played the game the right way, his DL stint doesnt happen. Period.

Your my boy and all, but you're talking out of your #!+.  If he trucked him, with our luck, he cracks his collarbone or something else.  A collision without injury is more luck than anything, period.
I agree that the Posey situation did lead him to not slide.

Like Tom Tolbert said on the radio yesterday, you are more likely to hurt yourself by sliding into a catcher who is smothering homeplate than putting your shoulder into his chest.

I agree, with our luck, Nate dislocates his shoulder or something.  But just because our team is unlucky doesnt mean we shouldnt play the game the right way.

I heard the same argument. He went on to say that when the catcher blocks the plate and doesn't give you a lane to slide you're more likely to snap your leg.  I agree with all of that, but the flip side to his argument was it's a SPLIT SECOND decision.  The Posey incident surely factored into his decision making.

Darren Balsley: Look Mat, you got an open base. Make sure you don't give Ross anything close to hit. Aaron Rowand is on deck.
Mat Latos: LOL!
