I realize this play didnt take long, but, if the post says "back" to the bag, and standing on the bag, and the fielder gets the throw, THEN makes contact, it wasnt a true banger.
Agreed, without seeing the play, we cant fully tell. But from the evidence given it appears it was the shortstops actions that caused the runner to come off. Not the runner not being in control and on the base.
And any Big Dawg official will tell you thats the way it should be judged, not because he didnt slide, and not because it was a banger.
..Coach: "hey you called my guy out? He was standing on the bag, and the shortstop took him off, why is that out?"
Mr Umpire:.."Uhh Coach, he didnt slide".
Does that fit the play?

Jesus. I never said not sliding was the reason for anything. I said that when I read "he went in standing up" all it meant to me was that he didn't slide. I was saying I read nothing more into it.
I am, saying, in the real world, at the levels of big boy ball I have worked, that play happens bang/bang....not as a devleoping "happening",. and in that sceario, I've got an out. If that means you disagree and Rei never works with me, I'm okay with that.
Before you twist anything else, I'll just withdraw from this thread.
