I honestly haven't seen the play. Links to it have been posted on several websites, so maybe I should take a look.
I was going strictly by Steve's description of the play:
"He definitely left his newly established base path to make the contact, and if any call were to be made, he should have been called out for going more than 3 feet out of his baseline to avoid a tag."
This passage seems to conect two events. Leaving his baseline to establish contact (with Vizquel) and being called out for illegally avoiding a tag.
Since no mention is made of a fielder possessing the ball, or a fielder with the ball attempting a tag, I can only surmise that the description is referring to the runner's path in relation to Vizquel as a violation.
Anything else would be conjecture on my part or an omission from Steve's description.
