But the runner is not out for not sliding. The runner is out for crashing into the fielder.

If she doesnt slide, she can give up, go around, fly over, or any number of things.. running into the catcher is not one of them.
I know you know the rule mike, but I dont think you should use (not that you do) lawyerese bs about sliding to over look crashes.

Not possible. If the player is sliding, there cannot be a "crash".

We all know why the rule is written the way it is, we dont need to put our head in the sand and pretend otherwise and use it to overlook legit crashes resulting from horrible baserunning technique.

And I did that where?
