How about this twist to the situation

Not infrequently, malicious contact occurs in conjunction with obstruction. For example, the catcher is four or five feet up the line without the ball and the the runner collides with him barreling for home.

Now, according to this discussion, the runner is out/ejected and the run does not score. However, what about the obstruction on the part of the catcher? Why is the obstruction infraction not punished also?

Why, then, would it not be malicious contact, but awarded home on the obstruction, THEN ejected for the malicious contact?
