The plays are not similar.

Had he been at third at the time of the pitch, I would kill the play and award home plate to the runner, and stop the BR at first base.

It is pretty hard to have a wacker when there is no defensive player around to catch the ball.

What is so hard about envisioning the pitcher covering the plate, since he should be backing up the plate on this play anyway?
And the situations are at least remotely similar. They involve a catcher with undetermined injuries, which may or may not be serious.
