Nah tke, catcher was def in the act of receiving the ball, runners duty to avoid and he gets the call his way if the ball squirts away, which it did
That isn’t the rule. Defensive player must possess the ball to block the base. Should have been obstruction and auto award of base.

It’s been the rule for quite some time

You can laugh about the rule if you want, they have been posted multiple times for you
I’m aware. Nowhere in any of the rules posted is the phrase “attempting to possess the ball” mentioned.
That’s why I’m laughing. Because you’re a stupid person “attempting” to make up rules to support your incorrect argument.

If you want to laugh about semantics and the way i said it in my own words, before looking up the official vocabulary, go for it

What are you expecting the catcher to do once the ball bounces off his glove? Realistically?
It doesn’t matter what anyone expects the catcher to do. Realistically. He did not possess the bal, because his “attempt” to possess the ball failed. The only world that isn’t obstruction is occupied by you and the replay official.

Like I said, I’m laughing at the stupid person “attempting” to make up rules to justify his incorrect argument.
Semantics would be you “attempting” to spin what actually happened into the actual rule.

I hate smashing the defenseless catcher, but catcher does not have to block the plate. They seem to want to get trucked.

Oregon didn't have a problem with the exact same scenario at the top of the inning when it was ruled in their favor. Karma .
And F*ck Oregon.
And F*ck Oregon.

Pussified sports are the thing now. From this to the “safety’ base at first. Football is the worst but this rates right up there with the worst of them.
This has always been a rule in college baseball. It’s not new

Correct according to rules in place
No different then plays at 2b
Blame the rule book over the umps
Had he slid he would have been safe

Catcher’s Positioning: The catcher may not block the runner’s path to home plate unless they have possession of the ball or are in the act of receiving a throw (Rule 8-3-e).
Does this part really apply to the Oregon catcher though? He was camping in front of the plate from the moment the throw was made. It wasn’t like he was set up legally and then the throw pulled him into the basepath.
And then to call “malicious intent” on the runner is ridiculous. It was a terrible slide attempt but the kid clearly tried to hold up.

If the umps make that call in Alex Box last night, the entire 2026 college baseball season gets played in the bubble.

What’s the runner supposed to do, stop and go around him? Jump over him?
Posted on 5/31/25 at 9:26 am to AaronDeTiger
probably
we got called out in a double play when the guy going to second ducked to avoid the throw instead of sliding 15 feet from the plate

Blocking the plate without the ball. Charlie Hustle is turning over in his grave. More pussification of sports.

I know my opinion wont be popular, but he couldve dove in hands or feet and touched the plate around the catcher. Its pretty well known you cant run into the catcher. Attempt to go around
That’s physically impossible to go around the catcher. 2 choices he could go through him or under him. Those are the choices.

Sliding is an option for the runner not a mode of getting to the base legally if blocked. It's blocking or it's not.
