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?

"idiot fan"?

Isn't that being redundant?

I see little wrong with the play. The runner slide and seemed to go directly into the bag. That is the runner's right to do so.

Peace
