There was no obstruction nor UC called on the play.
In one of the shots you can see the mob scene at home where the offense is telling runner to touch the plate. You think Blue had enough help to make the call?

Not having been there and lacking a video, I really could not make a definitive decision, but my perception of what happened based solely on the photos, I'm ruling the runner out.
If the catcher had possession of the ball prior to the crash, IMJ that is not a slide when the runner leading with a shoulder.
If the catcher does not have possession of the ball prior to the crash, it is OBS, but the runner may not be out of trouble yet if I believe it was intentional as opposed to tripping and falling forward.
Again, JMO, based on the still photos provided
