I hate that

The only reason they do that is because the runner is allowed to abuse the fielder as long as he’s anywhere near 2nd base. So now in order to protect the fielders, they allow them to never touch the base. Why not just change the rules about what the runner is allowed to do, and not just ignore the most basic rule of the game of baseball?

I think that the runner should be allowed to do exactly what they do right now, but the fielders have to touch the bag. They have to use it to shield themselves, it’s part of the game.

Well you can’t use the base to shield yourself when the runner is sliding with his spikes directed toward your knee – which is one of the things runners are allowed to do right now. This could a cause a ton of injuries, and nobody wants that. But yeah, anything’s better than this.
