I didn't see anything malicious there. He just ran in standing up. Does the runner have to stand there and let the guy come tag him? I smell BS there.

You need to call the catcher out for taunting him. I didn't see any forearms being thrown, but i did see the catcher throw down his mask and talk some
trash.

total bullshit. He didn't throw and elbow either. He raised his arm to protect himself. | #4 | ||

the catcher should have been ejected.

I initially thought that the UF catcher was ejected. He was out of line. | #5 | ||

And that's bullshit. In baseball, a player is not required to run around someone in the basepaths. The UF catcher was WAY up the line, he wasn't just
slightly up the line blocking the plate. Complete horseshit call to throw the USM batter out. Hell, the UF catcher was so far up the line it wouldn't
have been unreasonable to call the runner safe.

I think he had to go up the line to catch the throw. | #8 | ||

But after looking at the replays I have to say the catcher should have been tossed for the taunting. That was too far. The runner didn't throw an elbow. He
lifted his arm up to shield his body then his elbow was elevated by the catcher's hard tag.

running into the catcher is an automatic ejection.

I thought you could run through the guy. You just can't throw elbows or lower | #10 | ||

your shoulders. Apparently, I'm wrong.

So the catcher can stand wherever he likes (if he has the ball) in the basepath | #11 | ||
|

and you are required to run around him. Sliding wasn't an option...he would have been a couple of yards short.

IF he threw an elbow then the USM cleanup hitter | #12 | ||

is a pansy at throwing elbows.... Seriously, I wish they would've dotted the catcher last inning for that horse shit.

I didn't think that the ball was deep enough to send the runner, but still that call was ridiculous.

How do you run through somebody | #14 | ||

Posts: 107 06/07/09 07:00 PM |

Exactly. If the ball gets there before the runner, | #15 | ||
|
Posts: 11525 06/07/09 07:01 PM |
the runner has to avoid the catcher. As long as the catcher stands in the basepath, there's no way the runner can score.

First of all, I don't like the rule either | #16 | ||

But to me, it did look like the guy for USM jabbed at his head with his elbow, which I thought was a little dirty. I think the catcher reacted the way he did
as well as the pitcher because of the elbow job. I don't know if it was intentional or not. To me, it looked intentional.
Still, both guys should have been ejected. As far as the runner, I guess he should have slid. He still would have been out by a mile no matter what he did. At least by sliding you make the catcher go down and you don't have something happen on accident or otherwise like that by going in standing up. I know what the rule says, but if common sense prevailed the world of college baseball, the runner would have been called out and both benches would have been warned. The only reason the umpire kicked the USM guy out was because of how the rule is written. "Because just being good kids who make good grades isn't good enough anymore."- John Cohen
"This league doesn't care how hard you try. This league cares about having real players who can perform certain skills. If you try to throw a fastball in and you miss the middle of the plate, the league doesn't care that you're a really good kid. The game says you better execute the pitch." - John Cohen |

Holy Christ that is a dumb rule. That's fine for little league and high school | #18 | ||

but you can't run through someone in the base path. Ridiculous.
