Joe, in the OP there was a typo. He said "the runner, who does not slide and makes to attempt to avoid the catcher." He meant to say "the runner, who does not slide and makes no attempt to avoid the catcher."
The runner made no attempt to avoid the catcher.
Does this help at all?
Emily Lutella would believe that it does.
So, THIS is what we think happened, then?
1) Catcher is in the Baseline w/o the ball
2) Runner did not try to avoid contact but was not malicious
THEN: Runner is out for INT because there was no violins on the part of the runner.
