Reds/Cubs game last night, bottom 2. Throw beats Fox to second by at least 6 feet. F4 makes the obligatory dip with the glove but misses the tag. Fox slid straight into the bag, nothing special. SAFE.

Hopefully this attitude will filter down to the amateurs.

The 2nd baseman put his glove on top of the bag and pulled it away when runner arrived. Not a swipe and miss. Obvious, easy call.
