If, as it looked, the runner was knocked off the base by the fielder, that would be OBS and award runner 2nd.
No time to look up rule cites.

If the ump judged the runner was off because of his own momentum, out ok.

Can you have OBS WITH possession of the ball?

It was rather rhetorical.

I'd have a hard time calling a runner out on a play like that. Runner had the base and the only reason he lost contact with it was because he was physically knocked off it.

I understand your point and basically agree.

But, to play devil's advocate a little bit, should his pop-up slide be considered and allow the out to stand?

What pop-up slide? You mean the one he attempted but couldn't complete because he was knocked off the bag? That pop-up slide?

Safe at second!

Just wondering, ....
Runner coming into second, F6 has the ball and is setup to make the easy tag..... Runner slides in (legally) and during the collision, ball is dislodged from fielder's posession.
Safe or out?

Copy and paste of what I posted on the SMSUA facebook page:

Looks ugly...both players are trying to make a play...no obstruction or interference. I think I just have a train wreck and go with the out. I'm open to being convinced otherwise, though.
