re: Anyone else watching Sam Houston vs TCU?

He was immediately called out for the alleged interference, and was tossed for slamming the helmet, yelling, jumping around, and going crazy.

Slight correction. He was called out on a force that occured before the contact. The runner going to first was called out on the interference.

And then yes he was tossed for slamming his helmet and going slightly insane

And for the record MOT, you aren't wrong at all in you interpretation of the rule. Just that baseball has about a million variations of the application of those rules.

If you ever go to a NCAA/NFHS rules clinic, which are great ways to cure insomnia btw, one of the major points of emphasis the stress is to protect the players. They stress that both runner and fielder have to make an effort to avoid contact.
