re: Milazzo slide

You’re a fricking dumbass

1. As a runner you start outside of the base line, so you’re never running straight at the base.
2. That ball was hit in the hole and the 2B made a sliding stop. If he doesn’t stop it Milazzo is rounding to possibly go to third.
3. You’re a douche.

He was running on the outside of bag then slide into base. They will call that interference every time. Look at replay he is more outside base path than in it. He is a senior should know better

He is a senior and it was obvious he knew what he was doing. He was sliding, within the baseline, to the right side of the bag. He was trying, within the rules, to get in the fielder’s head, to disrupt the double play.

He did not hit the fielder, put him in danger, obstruct him or impede his view. The color guy on the broadcast, who is a baseball expert with no bias to either team, said from the start is was a legal slide and even stuck to his guns when the call was upheld.

The rule states his entire body…feet, legs, arms, trunk have to be on a straight line between the bases.
