on may 25, during a game against the florida marlins, posey was injured during a collision with scott cousins at home plate as cousins scored the eventual winning run on a sac fly in the 12th inning of a 7–6 giants' loss. posey suffered a fractured fibula and torn ligaments in his ankle, requiring season-ending surgery. cousins, who was not disciplined, said he collided with posey intentionally in order to score. "if you hit them, you punish them and you punish yourself, but you have a chance of that ball coming out." he expressed regret over injuring posey, saying "i certainly didn’t want him to get hurt." cousins received threats from fans, but posey denounced them: "i appreciate the continued support of giants fans and others as i begin the process of working my way back ... but in no way do i condone threats of any kind against scott cousins or his family. as i said last week, i'm not out to vilify scott." the collision led major league baseball to adopt rule 7.13, informally known as the "buster posey rule," which states that "a runner attempting to score may not deviate from his direct pathway to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher (or other player covering home plate)." a runner violating the rule will be declared out, even if the fielder drops the ball. in 45 games, posey batted .284 with 17 runs scored, 46 hits, five doubles, four home runs, and 21 rbi.
