Personally, I don't think jumping in the middle of a field during a major league game is "any situation."

That's their field.

They agree not to put up fences so that people can't jump onto the field and possibly injure their million dollar investments.

They can protect it how they want, and I think "Jump on our field and you may get beat down and/or tasered" is a better option than fences.

Follow the fucking rules.

- If fans jump on to the field and start injuring players, they'll put up some sort of barrier to stop it. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 06:57 15

    - I haven't been to a MLB game in many years, but as long as there's signs indicating "Appropriate Force may be used if anyone runs on the field," I'm - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:05 13
      - that still leaves the question open of when is tasering an "appropriate" measure of force. - znufrii May 4, 07:10 4
        
        No, I think there is no question. Jump on the field, that's it. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:17 3

        Yes. You jump on the field of play, for the safety of the players, you may get tasered. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:23 1
        
        Screw that...post it up "you jump of the field, you WILL be tasered". And be done with it. - Jim May 4, 07:25

        It makes it ok for the safety and security of the players. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:15 6
        
        So if tasers aren't a deterrent, why use them? (unless a player's safety is at risk) -- nm - Roger More May 4, 07:18

        My categorical "it's always ok to use it" is to subdue someone. No, if they're already subdued, then it's not appropriate. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:21
        
        90% of the players would likely beat the shit out of some random fan. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:16 2
        
        Didn't some linebacker one time totally annihilate a field runner? That was wicked. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 07:19 1
        
        yeah, I do not remember who it was, but they got their clock cleaned real good. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:19
