I guess I'm not very clear on what you're saying, DG. Are you trying to say that there can be no MC calls at any other base except home? If so, I assure youi that's not the case. All contact judged malicious is an immediate ejection, including defensive MC(unnecessarily hard tag, trip, etc...) The rule clarification was put in place to allow for the runner at home to be called out on MC regardless of whether or not he reached the plate prior to the contact.
