Nice little crash, with F2 tumbling on top of R1 and the two of them rolling in a tangle a couple of feet.

Since it was not "malicious" (i.e. no intent to injure, etc.), all I did was advise the catcher to not do that again.

Comments?

I like the advice you gave.
To me it implies that you had given her the benefit of the doubt the *first* time.
