Durham - in this case, "trainwreck" is a non-rulebook euphamism that we all understand.

In essence, it means that if this fielder has possession, you have nothing. Runner is not guilty of anything listed under the interference rule, and if the fielder has the ball, he's not guilty of anything listed under the obstruction rule. What's left? Play-on. (or "Nothing" or "Trainwreck")
