Wow that is one of the most childish and pathetic displays I have ever seen on a baseball diamond and I once watched a special on the greatest tantrums of Earl Weaver.

That’s why I requested it. Helps let the hate run through us. That kid also has an incredibly punchable face.

You have to slide on potential DP.  Maybe he could have gotten away with it if he peeled off but he ducked right into the fielder.

Actually, that's the correct call.

Correct by rule and I think by effect.  Having that guy standing there bent over fucks with your line of sight, if not the throw itself.

Y'all are fucking insane. So if it was a direct shot to 2B and the baserunner was only halfway down the baseline, you think the runner needs to slide into the ground 45 feet from the bag? That's absurd.

Taking this rule that literally would mean that players are required to slide into first base.

Well that's not what happened, so it doesn't really matter does it.

If he's that far away from second, he's not much of an obstruction.  When he's as close as he was, he needed to slide.  The rule also permits running out of the baseline, which would be appropriate that far from the bag.

What part of the rule says it only applies where he's much of an obstruction?

“SECTION 4. The intent of the force-play-slide rule is to ensure the safety of all players. This is a safety and an interference rule. Whether the defense could have completed the double play has no bearing on the applicability of this rule. This rule pertains to a force-play situation at any base, regardless of the number of outs.
a.    On any force play, the runner must slide on the ground before the base and in a direct line between the two bases. It is permissible for the slider’s momentum to carry him through the base in the baseline extended (see diagram).
Exception—A runner need not slide directly into a base as long as the runner slides or runs in a direction away from the fielder to avoid making contact or altering the play of the fielder. Interference shall not be called.
1)    “On the ground” means either a head-first slide or a slide with one leg and buttock on the ground before the base.
2)    “Directly into a base” means the runner’s entire body (feet, legs, trunk and arms) must stay in a straight line between the bases.

A runner running to second base who doesn't slide 45 feet from the bag is neither sliding nor running away from the fielder.

He's slow as fuck and should probably be curling out of the baseline, which I think is what "running away from the fielder" means.  It's implicit in the rule, for both safety and interference purposes, that the runner is in the vicinity of the fielder.

 

The rule also doesn't say that a runner can't stop halfway down the baseline, stand straight up, and wave his arms and jump up and down, but I imagine that would be a valid interference call.

How does an ump looking right at that ball down right field not see that it is fair....it hits the "chalk" and it's obvious.  Runner at first would have scored and batter would be at second....video replay puts the runners at first and third and Beavers don't score.

Maybe because it wasn't fair?
