What is the definition of illegal slide? (Hint - 2-32-2a - the last part)

Illegal slide means there is a penalty to the offense ... you take it from there.

As an aside how could he pop up into the fielder and there not be an alteration of the play? The only thing I could think of would be a very slow roller and everyone knows there is no chance for a DP. In that situation you could probably rule that there was no attempt for a DP and thus you could have contact and no FPSR.

Maybe someone else has a case play that would work also ...

Good question though

Thanks
