Well it certainly isn't on the fielder, if he's doing what he's supposed to be doing, which is catch the baseball, regardless of where it's thrown. As long as he was making a legitimate attempt to catch the ball, it ain't nothin' but a train wreck. I said the runner had a
better chance of avoiding the collision. I never said anything about any "burden" being on him to avoid anything.
