a) it did not look like the runner aimed at the catcher in the catcher's position taking the throw
b) the catcher did swing around into the runner's path whne it was too late for the runner to avoid
c) the runner made a mistake by not sliding (IMO, safe & no injury)
d) the runner caused the collision by not sliding
e) the runner crashed into the catcher, deliberate or not, with great force, so yes, ejection
What do you think?

I would have tossed the runner. In a heartbeat.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
