You make the call

Ozzy i can see kind of where in the FPSR you can get him... Illegal slide. But in the Collision rule it says that the fielder MUST have possesion of the ball. but in 8-7b.a.r. If the base runner collides flagrantly, the runner shall be declared safe on the obstruction, ( which there was none on this play) but will be EJ from the Contest. The ball is dead.. SO I can kind of agree with you, but I still think he was just being stupid... Would this happen in a College or higher game? No cause the players are smarter and are more worried about getting hurt.

No, I doubt that NCAA players would try something like this. And the more that I think about it, FPSR is not an option in this scenerio. So I will nail him with simple Misconduct and still get rid of him.

You see, no matter what you guys argue, I am dumping this player unless he has a Contract in the Bigs!
