I was referencing the note to Rule 6.01(i) Collisions at Home Plate (previously 7.13) that says 6.01(i)(2) shall not apply to force plays at home plate. I realize this rule covers the prohibitions placed on the catcher related to blocking the plate, but my point is that if additional rules are put in place to protect fielders, the rules need to be simplified.
