[QUOTE="IlliniJim20, post: 1397388, member: 10516"] Similar argument in basketball, where guys jump out of their way to initiate contact and get the call. If that shooter shot like that normally, he'd find a seat on the bench next to the coach :D One question to ask: if the runner was not trying to break up a double play, would they make that slide? Imagine a stolen base at second, trying to leg out a double etc. Would you slide to make contact with the fielder? No, you slide to avoid a tag and not make contact. I am in favor of good slides trying to break up DP's, and agree the issue is in the inconsistent enforcement of the rule. [/QUOTE]
