It’s absolutely an injustice. The wrong call that is opposite of the letter of the written rule changed the outcome of the game. Then the player the rule is misapplied must miss the next game. No bigger injustice can happen on a call.

He hit the catcher while starting the slide because the catcher is 5 feet in front of home

Watched it live….. the runner had no plan to slide and if the catcher catches the ball he would’ve ran him over anyway. Thats why the call was made in my opinion.

He is quite literally starting a slide. Tucking the back leg and everything and leaning back with the shoulders
If the catcher disappears it’s a completely normal on time slide.

Yeah the runner imo was clearly bending his knees to start his slide when the collision occurred. Like I said earlier, you are NOT sliding to slow down at home. Last thing you want is your forward motion stopping when u get to home plate. If that would happen then the catcher catch easily block the plate and stop runner from scoring. If the catcher wants to stand that far in front of the plate then he deserves to get his legs taken out from under him by the runner sliding in through home.
ETA: Pride’s photo clearly shows the slide. Runner also slid at the appropriate time. Can’t believe the umps missed this after replay. IMO the person who is irresponsible here is the catcher.

No baseball in the mitt, cant block plate. Runner has a right to baseline in that case. As far as malicious? Wtf was he supposed to do, go around him with ? Dude was blocking the plate with no possession of the ball in mitt. I know there is some sort of contact rule but the catcher CANNOT block the plate without possessing the ball.
Catcher obstruction. Runner should be awarded home plate. Period, end of story.

Honestly even in your “no intent” pic, the catcher is so far up the baseline that he is literally past rhe batter’s box. Imo catcher is going to stand that far up the line then he deserves to get run over bc I’m not sure what else the runner could really do bc the runner is too far away to even slide.

Just curious. What was the catcher supposed to do? Tried to receive the ball, ball got past him. Would he even have time to get out of the way?

quote:gamble he took but he missed ball. Catcher obstruction. Runner has right to the baseline in this scenario. Catcher is in his way. If Catcher had the ball...the runner would have been called out on the tag(regardless if the contact made ball come out) then thrown out for making contact like this. He didn't have the ball. Everything changes in favor of the runner.
What was the catcher supposed to do?

Oregon runner is still on third base while the catcher is blocking the plate
He put himself way up the baseline. The throw didn’t move him there

Wrong 3 times
Catcher doesn’t have to have possession. He has to be setting up to receive the ball, which he was.

I'm not wrong. Look up the rule. He never POSESSED the ball. Can't block the plate without possession of the ball. End of story. You just embarrassed yourself.

Phhheeewww…..don’t know on that one…..surely don’t know about it in this spot. I’m not sure I could have made that call, but I can see why it was made.

Catcher doesn’t have to have possession. He has to be setting up to receive the ball, which he was.
Also
0nce the ball is past the catcher he is no long on the act of receiving the ball.
So twice he was within obstruction

That’s the part I have the biggest problem with…..the replay folks said there was no obstruction…..that means my understanding of obstruction must be wrong according to them because by God it looked like he obstructed the runner’s path to the base to me…..but hell I’m just a fan who has watched a lot of baseball over the years
