Malicious Contact?
On the play where the CF catches it and the runner tags is there anything here? Malicious contact? Does the arm flying out give you anything? Nothing?

I couldn't get the video to load. What level ball are we talking about?

Looks a runner bracing for contact with a player that has no right to be in front of him and an arm flying up as a result of the contact for which he was bracing. I'd like to know what the second coach to get run said prior to being ejected, though. |

I think by virtue of the phrase itself, you need contact for there to be "malicious contact".
I know what it looks like he tried to do, but he didn't do it. I got nothing. |

Did the runner touch home plate? Sure didn't look like it.
I've got nothing as far as the contact goes. If the ball had beaten him there, the catcher would have had it in time to tag him, which didn't happen. |

From what I see, there was minimal contact. It looks like the runner is setting up to plow the catcher over, but he backs up due to the throw and the runner misses both laying out the catcher and the plate as it looks to me.
Do we know what the call on the field was? |

Looks like F2 set up in the path of the runner and he is waiting for the ball. I have both players doing what they should be doing. The contact, in my opinion, was not MC nor was it obstruction. I have a train wreck, run scores and the ejections stand.
