The contact was basically torso to torso... F2 was somewhat crouched down (not on a knee, not quite squatting), R3 wasn't quite upright, but I wasn't sure if he stumbled trying to slow himself down or if he intentionally went low.
There was no arm extension by R3 or annything like that. A bit more context, if it matters: Top of the 7th inning, Visiting team was down by 6 runs. Sitting in the bleachers behind home plate, my first reaction was "That's MC".

In Ohio at least, they want this called MC. The runner has to go around: if the fielder doesn't have the ball, we need to call OBS. If he does have the ball, then play on. Either way, the runner can't target the fielder.
If the throw takes him into the path of the runner who's going around, that's just a train wreck.
