That’s irrelevant here because the play is basically over already.
EXACTLY OUR POINT

The play of fielding the ball is over. Thus, he can’t be in front of the plate anymore

Look, the ball is so far behind the catcher before contact you can’t even see the freaking ball in the photo anymore


Do you not understand how silly it is to use a still photo to make a point in a play like that?

Someone posted the rule and it is pretty clear the intent is the throw takes c into the path of the runner and not the c has the ability to just obstruct bc he is fielding the ball. The rule clearly says he is reacting to the throw caused him to be in the way. He made no reaction to the throw. He was standing in the same spot before the OF even caught the ball.

On stop of it all, the runner was sliding (albeit very early in the process) as the rule requires.

Either he had a right to be there to field the ball at the time the ball got there or he didn’t. What happens to the ball after it comes to him is irrelevant in this argument.

What?

So the second basemen is standing on the base to make an out at second. The ball is overthrown into the outfield

It’s cool for second baseman to continue standing on second impeding future runners?

A good throw to home plate will always force the catcher to “block” the plate in some way. Y’all are expecting the catcher to clear a path for the runner which is not the intent of the rule.

If college baseball does NOT want catchers blocking the plate then this decision here will end up causing more catchers to block the plate.

You can not even count to 2 seconds from the time ball hit his mitt to the time the runner hit him. What are you even talking about? IT. HIT. HIS. MITT.

Yeah but that 0.001 second after that, the ball was really far away so that’s illegal!

My man the ball is completely out of the still frame here. NOT IN HIS glove. Here you go

Heading to his knees. Already missed the ball and he isn’t even on his knees yet



Now on this photo he is on his knees. Ball is so far behind him it’s gone.




You are the greasy liar

bullshite especially coming from LF. Catcher chose to shorten the distance by several feet. Hell he was several feet up the line before the OF even caught the ball.

We’re talking about milliseconds. You’re talking about 7-10 seconds in your example.

Right after the ball HIT his mitt and he thought he had it so he tagged him with two hands. lol. That’s not a 10ft overthrow.

That’s a fancy way to say without the ball he dropped to his knees to block the plate even more

I said the ball was 10 feet last him. Not a 10 foot overthrow. You knew that though

The fact is this a judgement call that should have been settled on field. No video review. People saying runner should have slid, he watched the catcher miss the ball. He figured he didn’t need too. To the people saying catcher obstructed, he was fielding the ball in baseline. The fact he missed it means nothing. This should have been an umpire meeting only call it live from what you saw.

You never caught or used a catchers mitt. You can see catcher for a sec thought he had ball. Which can happen. It’s not seconds tho. Bang bang.
