Oregon runner slides into home safely if there wasn’t a catcher maliciously blocking his slide. Absurd ruling. NCAA needs computer umpires. It keeps getting worse.

Not familiar with the rule but he definitely led feet first and appeared to pull up to avoid further injuries.

I just don’t get how they came to that conclusion.
Point number 1: The fielder has to have clear possession of the ball to block the base path. At no point did the catcher have clear possession. That means it’s 100% obstruction and anything that happens after or as a result of that obstruction is null and void. Runner should have been called safe.

It wasn’t malicious contact. He started a slide and was blocked by the catcher.
he started a slide about half a step before he trucked the catcher
It wasnt a slide that would have beat the tag, and he didn’t even fully commit to it.
Also, obstruction is when you don’t have the ball and you aren’t in the act of fielding.
The Catcher was in the act of fielding

If they think that was malicious, they may want to take a gander at Pete Rose ending Ray Fosse’s career during an All Star game back in the 70’s.

Yeah he absolutely tried to truck the catcher. Zero sympathy for him being ejected. He actually slides he definitely would have been tagged out but Oregon would have challenged the out call and probably wins the challenge.

Looking at this picture one has to ask, how is he supposed to slide? The catcher is 2 feet in front of the plate with his leg down blocking a slide attempt. The runner starts to slide but pulls up since there is no path to the plate.
I guess next time the runner should Ty Cobb him and rip the catchers leg apart with his cleats during the slide.

The ruling was that he wasn't blocking the plate and I believe it was because he was in the act of catching the ball. Couple things they mentioned... had the runner started his slide when he should, he'd be safe and not issues. Had the pitcher who caught the ball tagged the runner after he ran over the catcher...the runner is out, no issues.
However, the runner started his slide late and looked to deliberately use excessive contact.
Crazy rules... but hey, dude got what he got. Like when Milam got called out because he didn't slide into 2nd during what would have been a double play.

What? Fosse played for many years after that.
People just say shite without any regard for truth.

Did he take his eye off the ball because he knew he was about to maliciously get trucked?

Look at that pic above. Where is he supposed to start sliding in your opinion?
Look how far he is from the plate. That is where you start your slide.

Is this written down in the NCAA rule book? Because if so, this entire thread is about feelings ignorant of the rules.

I got knocked out making a play at home when I was playing 18 yo league. Dudes shoulder hit me in the chin as I made the tag.

I was watching the game & have watched & rewatched that play several times. Still no idea how or why the call was made.
It was interesting to see the Oregon coach immediately jump to the top step of the dugout & glare at the umps. He knew what was about to get called

Im not sure what the right call is. It happens fast. What exactly is the Oregon player supposed to do there?

While I agree with you for balls and strikes, how do you expect a computer to judge intent?

There is a reason you see catchers stand in front of tof the plate to receive the ball now. It’s because you can’t block the plate without the ball. That’s exactly what this kid did. You can claim he was trying to catch it, I suppose, but that’s not how I perceive the rule to read. Also, calling that hit malicious is hilarious, I’ve had hallway collisions in the office harder than that

You gotta be smart and a little stupid to play catcher.
I was made catcher for the same reason I was made goalie on my soccer team. I wasn't afraid to jump on the ball while people were still trying to kick it. Never got knocked out playing catcher, but I did get knocked out playing goalie as a kid....
