Neal Huntington is looking to change how MLB handles concu sion protocol during games.The Pirates general manager said he thinks players should be able to re-enter games if they clear concu sion protocol at the ballpark."The player has to feel pre sure, as hes standing there with 10,000 or 30,000 or 50,000 eyes on him, to make Plaxico Burress Jersey a decision, Am I in or out of this game?" Huntington said, . "He knows if he takes himself out and hes the catcher, theres only one other catcher, and the game becomes a fiasco if that other catcher gets hurt."MORE: Huntingtons comments come after Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli suffered a concu sion Sunday night but remained in the game until his next at-bat.Once a player is taken out of a game, he's out for good. Huntington said the player should be able to return if he's Devin Bush T Shirts cleared to do so and feels well enough."Weve talked about it internally. Weve not presented it to Major League Baseball," Huntington said. "Im sure now Im going to get some phone calls, Why didnt you call us first?"We do think there should be consideration for a rule change that allows an obvious concu sion a se sment proce s to happen."Huntington also brought up how in other profe sional sports, such as the NFL, NHL and NBA, players are allowed to go back in the game if they are cleared though those leagues' rules allow Kenny Pickett Jersey re-entry no Chaz Green Jersey matter why a player leaves the game, unlike MLB rules.2019 MLB DRAFT: "It used to be, youd get your bell rung, and youd stay in," Huntington said. "We shouldnt do that anymore. We should be understanding what that actually means."However, there is a concern that a player won't be honest so he could try and stay in the game."The biggest thing is just to be able to take the right (amount of) time and to not have the player or the trainer on the field making that a se sment," Huntington said. "Once a player comes off the field, there is a protocol he goes through automatically off the field.What we are suggesting is for an obvious concu sion a se sment scenario, youre able to leave the game, the backup goes into the game, and then Chase Claypool T Shirts if that starter is cleared, he can go back into the game, whether hes the left fielder, the first baseman or the catcher.
