Oregon ejection

Didn’t know you were an Oregon fan. Screw the ducks!

Im wondering how they called that, especially since Oregon is home.

Link to replay?

Runner made no attempt at all to slide or avoid the catcher. Haven't been able to do that in what feels like a decade.

While it was obstruction, malicious contact supersedes that.

Yes he did. It was a fricked up attempt because the catcher was standing a foot in front of home

or avoid the catcher

---

catcher was completely blocking the base path. There was no avoiding him without leaving the path or coming to a complete stop.

And if he leaves the path or stops due to the presence of a defender without possession, OBS would be called. But they ruled malicious contact, which supersedes an OBS call.

It wasn’t malicious contact. He started a slide and was blocked by the catcher.

The home plate ump called the runner safe before touched home plate.

So it is almost like he ruled that the catcher was blocking the plate before the review.

Frick off they didn’t have it available yet
