No, I'm not. I'm sorry if I gave that impression.
In the play in question that fielder was taken to the baseline to field a throw which he just missed doing at the time of the collision.
What I meant to suggest was that this was a train wreck, that the fielder was not at fault, merely doing his job and my comment about the runner was meant to demonstrate that even the runner had a better shot at avoiding the collision than the fielder, not obligation.
