One of the "features" of this board - the top thread title cannot be edited.
Speaking ASA, Case Play 10.8-1 will allow for an OUT and ejection for flagrant misconduct. The support for the OUT call is shaky in actual rules. This has been discussed before. But the out can certainly be called using the case play as authority.
The rules pertaining to a runner intentionally (i.e., did not avoid when she could have) crashing into a fielder all include the requirement that the fielder be involved in making a play - fielding a batted ball, throwing a ball, catching a throw, etc.
No flagrant or malicious misconduct? No play by the defender?
Is "refusing" to deviate even when there apparently was ample opportunity to do so included in "flagrant or malicous" even when the crash itself was not particularly malicious-looking?
Good question.
