NCAA rule on sliding

Force-Play-Slide Rule 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.


PENALTY for 1-5—(1) With less than two outs, the batter-runner, as well as the interfering runner, shall be declared out and no other runner(s) shall advance.

 

Needed to get some coffee.

 

Eh, who cares? Dude slid well outside the bag with his cleats out and up in the air right into the SS's knee. Obviously interference and if they should change the rule at all it should be to make that an ejectable offense.

 

Go all in with Kowar if they get a runner?

 

Six more outs!!!! This is OUR game bitches! One run victory...time to take it NOW!!

 

Maldonado and the basepaths in Omaha have a terrible relationship.

 

We've got them right where we want them. One run down!!!

 

Well, we blew our 7th.

 

Yes

 

Top of their lineup as been poor. Let's go

 

6 stinking outs. Let's do this!!

 

I personally think we are good now... but an extra would be NICE!!!!!

 

Exactly!

 

This

 

He did not appear to go for the knee, he went for the knee. Call it like it is

 

I hope we do not have to bat bottom of 9th.

 

Okay, I'm at the point where I can't even watch. You would think the 50 million 1-run games we've had all season that I'd be prepared for this one. lol

 

Whiskey would be better

 

Who thinks that dude goes out on the field next time?

 

Let's close out Blondie's game empty!!
