DevilRay,
Erstad play ok...MLB rules...I'm a Braves fan...Life goes on.
However, with malicious contact rules, here is the call. A forearm shiver to the bottom of the mask with a solid followthrough driving catchers head to the ground, removing mask, sending catcher to hospital, and dislodging ball, IS MALICIOUS CONTACT. PERIOD. Out, eject. No questions, easy call. Hell, it's a 15 yd. unsportsmanlike penalty in the NFL, with up to a $75,000 fine to follow. Go away with your non- malicious logic.
