ACC Championship Game (FSU vs. NC State): Collision at home plate (part 1 of 3)

Chris Schaeffer went down at the plate in the eighth inning, when Florida State outfielder James Ramsey ran him over. Chris Schaeffer was diagnosed with a concussion and was released a couple of hours later. To add insult to injury, the umpire called catcher obstruction, automatically rewarding the point to FSU regardless of the outcome of the play.

@healthguyfsu They're being uploaded as we type. They both should be up in a couple of hours.

The runner, of course feels guilt, it's human to, but he pretty much had no choice, he's going full speed, head down, and by the time he gets his head up, with the catcher being SO FAR out in front of the plate, there must've been no reaction time, if he went around him he may have been called out, even though I believe he would have gotten the call, the catcher clearly would been obstructing the base runner...

[asckicker]

actually you should learn your rules. a defensive player has no right to be in the base path without the ball, (including making an attempt to catch the ball.) by rule even if the runner dodged him he should still be called safe on the basis of obstruction.

[woodlandsports3]

actually the runner should be out because the catcher was attempting to make a play. those of you saying its the catchers fault, learn the rules, its the runners fault

I have to give this one to the runner. Catcher never had the ball and was blocking the plate. He should have been in front of the plate waiting for the relay. Catcher was obstructing, it was his fault. I hate collisions, I swipe tag when its an option. But if you don't have the ball, get out of the base path.

Get the fuck outta the way dumbass

[7ChArLiE7]

you are all fucking retards who think that this is the runners fault. The catcher blocked the basepath thus being an obstruction by the catcher

@goalstopper581 You would be trucked fewer times if you knew the rules. RULE BOOK 7.06(b) NOTE: The catcher, WITHOUT THE BALL IN HIS POSESSION, has no right to block the pathway of the runner attempting to score. The base line belongs to the runner and the catcher should be there only when he is fielding a ball or when he already has the ball in his hand.
