The runner went into the catcher, regardless of sliding or not, accidently or not. How is the catcher out of position?

You are talking about the back half of the LH batter's box. That is not where a catcher taking a throw from the center of the field (or anywhere else, for that matter) should be. Even if the throw was off, that shouldn't draw the catcher to a spot behind the plate.

Why does which side of the plate matter?
Taking out a catcher standing in front of the plate would mean that the runner was going for the player, not the plate.

"Front of the plate" refers to an area in fair territory toward the pitcher's plate.

Cecil you are avoiding the issue all together IMO. All that other crap dont matter... batter box, where the catcher is standing and all this bs.

What interference rule are you trying to enforce?

Once we know that we can pick apart your argument..

Just because there is contact between the offense and defense doesnt mean there is interference or obstruction, you need to have a rule to support a call.

Well, that's my fault for using those points as a reference as to why the runner really did not do anything wrong or in a manner which would be INT.

Well, since the runner has already scored, I'm assuming 8-7-P.

Thats the only other one I could think of but I dunno, either of them is a big stretch.

You don't cover home plate by standing behind it.
