Which teams were these? Was anything said to the other team, or the catcher? If there is not a play at the plate, the catcher has no right to block the plate, and to elbow an opposing player is just downright dirty, in my opinion. I might would feel differently if it were not intentional, but this was obvious, and showed poor sportsmanship.

Huffman and Needville?
Looks like an easy ejection call to make. I would probably tack on a suspension to go with it.slpybear

Umpire was in bad location and he didn't see it.
Yes, the catcher should have been ejected at least by baseball standards. Had the runner slid and took her out, she would have.

Hard to say the elbow was taught by the coach.

I wish we could hear from the catcher said to the base runner afterwards
Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

The first play he was down the line to cover third, which is the four man mechanics for a fly to left field with runners on. Fisrt base umpire should be standing at home third base extended. I was unaware of the second instance. You are correct he is standing where he should be. The catcher is being an ass is all that is. Originally Posted by DaHop72
