[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1397339, member: 619279"] It's illegal at 2nd as well, it's just not officiated correctly. Collision at home rule: "Bona fide slide" rule for double plays: So it's pretty clear, by the rules, that the runner can't, at any base, change their line to the base at the last moment just to make contact with the defender (as Rizzo did). When issues arise in unequal application of the rule though, managers who don't like the rule have a couple options; 1) try to have your players follow the rule even if it doesn't get called or 2) just ignore the rule since it doesn't get called. Maddon and Rizzo seem to have taken option 2... [/QUOTE]
