On May 25, 2011, during a game against the San Francisco Giants, Cousins collided with catcher Buster Posey at home plate after tagging up from third base on a sacrifice fly from Emilio Bonifacio. Posey sustained a broken fibula and three torn ligaments in his left ankle, causing him to miss the rest of the season. Cousins said he hit Posey on purpose so that he could score. "If you go in first feet and slide they punish you. If you hit them, you punish them and you punish yourself, but you have a chance of that ball coming out." While Cousins maintained that he did not intend to injure Posey, many others disagreed, and argued that Cousins hit Posey with the intention of hurting him. This collision led to MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association to agree to a new rule intended to limit home plate collisions.
