"Runner gets back to 2nd base standing up"..Back to 2nd says "stable to me

To me it says he didnt' slide.

Then the fun starts..."shortstop coming in behind second base has to reach around the runner standing on second to catch the throw"..sounds like contact has started..
..."The shortstop, after catching the ball is off balance and leans on the runner, the runner falls to the ground with the shortstop and comes off the base. The shortstop applies the tag from the catch to the ground..."

Again, as demonstrated by your use of "then", you are assuming that this all took some time to happen. In my experience pick-off attempts happen quickly. with most action occurring near simulataneously; not runner gets back... pitcher throws...fielder gloves ball.

Shortstop is OFF BALANCE? LEANS on the runner? After runner was BACK to 2nd, STANDING on the base. Seems like the throw took F6 into the bag and caused the actions described.

A lean caused a stable runner to fall....I don't think so. Throw caused the lean? Who cares?
