UVA Vandy collision (Video)

Didn't see the play, but the same ruling would hold true in OBR and FED.

I don't see how that MC wasn't called on Papi. You could clearly see that he dropped his shoulder into F5.

Just curious on this sitch... how is he supposed to get back to the base with the fielder standing directly in his way?

Somehow other than dropping his right shoulder and plowing into F5. I'm not arguing that the fielder is between the runner and 3B, I'm saying he dropped his shoulder, should have been MC.

The easy answer is ... he's not.

The fielder has the ball and is between him and the base... why would you think there must be a way that he's "supposed" to get back to the base?

Exactly right. Sometimes the runner should just accept that he's going to be out.

Does anyone else have MC on Papi?

Unless you have seen the entire play, I am not sure how anyone can make a call from the sitting position at home. There is just not enough shown here.

You must have seen a different view. All I see from the video provided is a very short clip of a runner a step from the base who could be falling forward or could be lowering a shoulder.

I saw the play while watching the game.

Now the actual video of the play is showing on the first page. I could not get it showing before.

Having seen the entire play, MC, ejection, no question in my mind.

So in OBR, a runner collides at home with the catcher waiting with the ball, and the runner would be ruled out for interference, and we send the previous runner who is now standing on third back to second? I've never seen that called in OBR.

Not at all what I said.

Given that there was INT during the rundown, R2 would be returned to second even if he was touching third at the time of INT.
