Justified IMO, he was taking up for his pitcher after a bitch move by the base runner. I have no problem with that.


taking up for his pitcher? GTFO of the baseline, what was the runner supposed to do?

When fielding the ball, the runner can't run into the fielder or interference should be called and the runner should be out. Fairly sure that is the rule.

He could start with not putting up his forearms and trying to run him over. This is baseball, not football and he wasn't coming into home plate. Call it what you want but there are unspoken rules in baseball and he broke one, period.

read slowly...go back and watch again...baseball is in the field of play...runner leaves running lane to create contact with defenders.

so to answer your question, the runner is supposed to stay in the running lane..that is what it is for.
