The implication is certainly there from the interpretation but, I do agree that you may also have to get ready to throw out the Coach after you call the two outs.

Never had to call it and your right, probably wouldn't.

jicecone,

Me neither.

There was another thread on the question awhile back, and I believe it was Bob Jenkins who suggested he wouldn't hold the runner liable until he was close enough to 2B that he would reasonably be expected to initiate his slide.

That made a lot of sense to me.

FYI

Interesting TidBit; I was looking a a new book I just purchased, "Plays that Trip you Up", by Stearn and Moore and they have a Case Play about this, where the runner gets hit at the "halfway" point to second. In Fed the play stands and in NCAA R1 is out.

Kind of like working with the gov't. Everyone has a opinion but, No One wants to make a decision. Then when we try to enforce ambiguity, we look like the beast we three heads,

Have a good day.

Interesting. What references do they give? I'd have the same ruling in both codes on these types of plays.

No references?
