Runner slid for home and the catcher was in his way. Bad call.
I have had a couple plays at home plate where the runner should have slid, but doesn't and ends up colliding with the catcher. While I didn't see malicious intent on either of the plays, my partner claimed a shoulder drop on one and the catcher claimed a shoulder drop on the other. As umpires should we be giving the benefit of the doubt to the catcher on these types of play?
