As opposed to a broken arm, leg, wrist, hand, neck, back, etc. that can happen in any collision between two human beings.
I'll take a broken bone over a shredded knee anyday. I don't want to see anyone getting hurt, especially my kid who doesn' catch, so my sympathy is with the runner. If there must be a collision brace for it and take the consequences.In the past she has stopped short of HP and gets tagged out and told afterwords that had she initiated contact, she would have been awarded the plate on an obstruction call.
Protest the game. That is a dead wrong interpretation in any softball game.
While I agree with your conclusion, I don't believe that the blues want the hassle. Good luck getting a UIC to overturn a judgement callIt seems to me that 4 out of 5 times, the catcher was coached to block the plate prior to catching the ball. I don't have any sympathy for a catcher who falls asleep in the baseline while a runner is attempting to score. None
I don't have any sympathy for anyone who doesn't play or officiate the game properly.
Amen
