Timing, on a hard slide at 2B. I see the fielder catch the throw, I see the tag in time, and for some unknown reason my mind wants to bang him before I am positive that the fielder held onto the ball.
I had one last summer where the tag was made, the SS jumped into the air with ball in glove, did a 360 degree spin in the air, landed, and dropped the ball. Of course i had already banged the runner. I had one last week where the tag was made by the SS who then fell to the ground and rolled over about 3 times. Fortunately, he held onto the ball, because I had already banged the runner.
It is interesting, because I never call one at the plate before I know the catcher still has the ball, it happens at 2B for me.
