I agree that coaches / players / MLB doesn't want to see hands getting beaten up by a fielder staying in there to make a tag. But he can't ole it either and expect an out. This is a case of out until proven safe IMO, but not automatic out.

I thought the fielder laid that glove right down in front of the base for quite a sufficiently long period of time. He didn' "ole" it, he put a tag down in front of a base and held it there until Jeter slid into the base. That's an out to me. But hell, then again, I don't have instant replay at my games to replay it over and over.
