The base runner is supposed to greet the catcher with a handshake prior to sliding.

Not a college baseball rules expert but seemed like the runner could have hit the catcher much harder. Didn't seem "malicious" at all..
Also not sure how you square the no blocking the plate without the ball rule in this.

We’ve all but removed contact from the game, clearly against the rules

Also true

The gross misapplication of the rules is ruining the game.
Why wasn’t the catcher called for obstruction of home plate? It looked just like that LSU-USC play at the plate in Hoover.
These umpires are idiots.

Horrible call all around. So many umps lack common sense and try to insert decisions into big time games.

I’m not sure what the runner was supposed to do there. Slide under the catcher? The catcher was pretty much blocking the plate.
And the Oregon guy pulled up a bit before he even hit the catcher. He could’ve really ran over him, but he didn’t.

Right call, runner clearly intended to hurt the catcher instead of trying to score. No attempt at a slide, he was just focused on tackling.

It looks to me like they blew the call all the way around.
Rule state obstruction is when a player blocks a clear path to the plate without clear possession of the ball. Catcher clearly did not possess the ball so it should have been obstruction and all runners advance a base.
If falling to your knees and putting up your hands to protect yourself is “malicious “ then we have lost the meaning of words
What really sucks is that guy now has to miss the next game too. So 2 blown judgements results in a kid losing rare opportunities to play
Atrocious

Baseball is a pussy sport now.
Hadn’t been able to watch much this year. Was shocked to see the softball bag being used at first. Turned the tv right off when I saw that. Ridiculous.

It’s been a while since little league but that’s not how we were taught to slide.

One of the worst calls in baseball history
Let’s forget the malicious intent for a second (which was awful on its own)
They said it wasn’t obstruction by the catcher. In what fricking world?
He is in front of the plate without the ball
You have to fire whenever made that replay review immediately
Go ahead stone hog, let’s see you argue that isn’t obstruction above
If Oregon want that picture in and played under protest I don’t see how they don’t get awarded

I’m glad you posted that frame because it perfectly illustrates how the runner had other options besides barreling into the catcher.
The only thing “blocking” the plate is his foot, runner could have easily stepped over or around it. Or if he just slides normally he gets the obstruction call.

There is no “getting the obstruction call”. It’s either obstruction or not
Please, tell me again it’s only his foot blocking the plate while he has ZERO possession of the ball
There is zero argument it wasn’t obstruction. Zero. None.

Maybe it’s a MLB rule, but isn’t part of the rule that you can be in the path of the plate if the throw brings you there?
Agree with everyone else about the malicious contact ruling. The only thing I can surmise is they saw the Oregon player extend his arms after the collision and judged that as being malicious???
I might be able to understand if they made these calls live and felt the need to dig in and say they were right. But to overturn the correct call on the field?

I'm not sure that I've ever seen obstruction called correctly. In this case I would call obstruction and I don't think the Oregon player did anything outside of the norm. What was he supposed to do? If he stops running he gives himself up for a tag by the pitcher. If he goes around the catcher he potentially goes out of the base path and is still out. If he slides then both of them are open to much more significant potential injury. Running over the guy who wasn't supposed to be standing there based on the rule seems like the best play.

You can clearly see the runner try to pull back to lessen the force of the impact. That entire crew should be fired. Jeez I don't think SEC umps are that bad.

The crew made the right call. Repay was clearly rigged is my only thought
