tony,
i think you got it right. i like to compare this play to a steal of second.

how many times have you seen the runner know he will be thrown out, and try to slide just out of the reach of the bag and the tag, only to lunge at the back of the bag after the swipe tag has been put down?

if i were the coach, and you called him out of the baseline, i would have had a problem. you get in less trouble letting that play go.

As Wendlestedt once told us, "Don't go lookin' for boogers!"
