How do you handle an obvious play at the plate where the runner has no choice but to run over the catcher in order to get to the plate because the catcher is blocking it?

You ask: Am I reading too much into the rules?
I have to ask: Have you even read the rules?
Look up obstruction in OBR 2.00
You'll find that runners cannot obstruct.
