Hmmm? Appeared to me catcher was purposely doing something versus incidental contact.Don’t get me wrong, I am 1000% behind getting the chicanery out of the game. That includes umpires with solutions looking for problems.
That was not a malicious contact. The catcher didn’t do anything that put anybody in harm’s way
In this example-
Catcher purposely physically collided with another player. Just because no one got hurt in that moment doesn't mean that action couldn't cause harm.
To herself or the other player.
It wasn't just the ball that made contact with the batter it was the body.
Are you putting unsportsmanlike conduct and flopping in two different categories?Was it unsportsmanlike? Ehhh … nothing happened but a coach made a kid look foolish. It certainly isn’t good and it could have turned into something. Like I said, it was the equivalent of flopping.
Every game is a new game.
