The rule is clear on this.

If you run into a fielder and are not sliding, you are out.

If she doesnt slide, she can give up, go around, fly over, or any number of things.. running into the catcher is not one of them.

I know you know the rule mike, but I dont think you should use (not that you do) lawyerese bs about sliding to over look crashes. We all know why the rule is written the way it is, we dont need to put our head in the sand and pretend otherwise and use it to overlook legit crashes resulting from horrible baserunning technique.
