AFA the clip, you need to remember the league in which this occurred. And the TH was wrong, it was not a late slide, it was a well executed attempted pop-up.
He never completed his pop-up slide because of the collision at 2nd. What I find amazing is that there is no explicit rule to cover this. We have to go to rule 10.1. This should be covered more explicitly.
