Actually he was passed 3BLE, and I would agree it was entirly due to the players actions. The best place to be if you were setting this up as a traditional block play and you are reading this guy sliding wide, Dave didn't get to make that read due to the player, would have been a step or two short of 3BLE, the reason is the box theory. If you are #BLE or past on this slide, you have the players body between you and the plate when he tagged it. That is why I have started using the mechanic that you see many of the big league guys using that puts you 1BLE all the way into fair territory. I think by working here you will almost always be able to slide and find your window.
