Opinions please.

I think it would be a stretch to call MC in a scenario such as this. Depending upon the level of play and the game, it seems more likely to me that the defender is simply rushing to try and make the play.

I saw it twice last evening working men's SP wreck league. Both times it was at HP and both times the catcher tried to make a tag before he had the ball. And both times he was muttering to himself: "catch the ball first, dummy".

That said, I do believe that OBS is the correct call in the OP. I can just envision a young JO player becoming nervous about trying to make such a play and forgetting to get the ball first.

Not everyone that falls down gets hurt, and sometimes people who don't fall down at all get seriously hurt [Dan Marino?].

OK, but how does that mean it is not OBS?

I don't think I said it wasn't OBS.

If you read in total:

OK, how'd you do that? How'd you edit your original post without it saying it was edited? Because, I know with absolute certainty that originally, your post said, ""That said, I do not believe that OBS is the correct call in the OP....

I plead ignorance. I'm just not that savvy with this posting stuff. I'm never sure when I log in what's new or not because sometimes the new stuff is bolded, and sometimes it's not. I log out and exit the browser I was in.

So who knows? I always attribute stuff like that to gremlins.

Yeah, gremlins between eyeball and brain...
