catcher take down
 
I know we've discussed all the possible runner/fielder plays before, but please save me a long search and opine about this.

Runners at 3rd, 2nd; fly ball to center. Both runners tag, throw comes home.
R1 upright beats the throw, but slips on plate and goes feet first past the plate into the catcher who goes down.
R2 about 2/3 of the way to 3rd, but catcher is flat on the ground and can't throw.

Was it a legal slide? :D

Interference, send the runner back to third.

I wouldn't call INT on a bet, but if you do, you have to call the runner out, not return to 3B.

Isn't there interference with the very possible play at 3rd on R2?

Where is the act of interference by the runner?

For there to be (Crash) interference, the runner would have had to remain upright.

this is more like an unintentional slide.

Are you looking for a different type of INT on this?

Still looking for an act of interference.

What the hell is the catcher doing somewhere they never should have been?:D

If the player came in sliding and went past the plate, the same would have happened. You cannot expect a runner to slow down and place themself in a position to be put out just so they do not accidently run/slide into a player out of position.

Now, if the catcher was out in front of the plate and was swept by the runner, INT is quite possible. But simply slipping on the plate....

Why "never should have been", when covering the plate on the throw home trying to get R1?

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

Why does which side of the plate matter?
