I had one this weekend: man on third 2 outs. Past ball, catcher gets it and runs back to the plate with the ball in hand. Runner is easily going to be out. He tries to run around the catcher (not out of the baseline), and the catcher kind of slides his feet in a way the defender does in basketball. I could have called "BLOCK, 2 shots!", but instead I got the runner for player control, he extended his arms, and informed him that was his 5th foul and he need to go.

Didn't get any flack from the coach, the league president was there and said between innings, "thanks ump!".
