Barry's Mechanical help

Tons of pitchers argue that all this padding is taking away the inside part of the plate for them. In addition, batters now turn into the pitch to get hit (look at Biggio). If the picther throws at the head they get thrown out so what are they suppose to do. I say ban all protective equipment and get out of the way. Pete Rose, Ty Cobb, Tony Gwynn, Babe Ruth and Ted Williams didn't need protection so why do players today.
