Catcher covering third base
Was watching an MLB game this weekend, saw this play.
I forget where runners were, etc, but here's what happened: There was a runner going from second to third, and there was going to be a play. Somehow, the catcher ended up covering third base on the play. The throw came in, and the catcher missed it. The runner slid in headfirst, and the catcher laid on top of him while the ball was loose in left field.
The catcher didn't appear hurt, thus provoking the question, why no obstruction?
