June 2, 201412 yr Is spiking a baseball a pretty common thing? I don't watch a lot, but I've watched several games today and seen it quite a few times.
June 2, 201412 yr THAT is why you slide at home. UK player ejected after being tagged out at home, for going high. The UL player didnt slide, he fell into him to make it look like he was sliding
June 2, 201412 yr Is spiking a baseball a pretty common thing? I don't watch a lot, but I've watched several games today and seen it quite a few times. In the Miami - Texas Tech game, the first baseman for Tech dropped the ball on a Miami's player lap after he fell running into first. That was awesome
June 2, 201412 yr The UL player didnt slide, he fell into him to make it look like he was sliding He was attempting to slide, and well within the rules. He made the right play.
June 2, 201412 yr Also Bernal was 10 feet up the line, and is expected to slide. Baseball rules make no sense
June 2, 201412 yr Also Bernal was 10 feet up the line, and is expected to slide. Baseball rules make no sense The Louisville player was in virtually the same spot when he was expected to slide... One player attempted to, the other didn't.
June 2, 201412 yr The Louisville player was in virtually the same spot when he was expected to slide... One player attempted to, the other didn't. The UK player was at the plate, the UL catcher was halfway up the line. UL player had more room to slide, UK runner was jumped up the line and couldn't slide.
June 2, 201412 yr The UK player was at the plate, the UL catcher was halfway up the line. UL player had more room to slide, UK runner was jumped up the line and couldn't slide. The UK player wasn't even in the circle... You need to watch the replay.
June 2, 201412 yr I could be wrong, but I don't think they have to slide, but have to try to avoid contact.
June 2, 201412 yr I could be wrong, but I don't think they have to slide, but have to try to avoid contact. You have to attempt to slide.
June 2, 201412 yr I could be wrong' date=' but I don't think they have to slide, but have to try to avoid contact.[/quote'] Correct.
June 2, 201412 yr Just watched the replay, the UL runner didn't even attempt to touch the plate, he turned sideways to go shoulder first and didn't even go for the bag. Dirty play IMO.
June 2, 201412 yr Watching the replay, the UL runner would be wearing a fastball in his ear his next at bat if he where getting paid to play.
June 2, 201412 yr Just watched the replay, the UL runner didn't even attempt to touch the plate, he turned sideways to go shoulder first and didn't even go for the bag. Dirty play IMO. And the UK base runner running over the UofL catcher, knowing it was an ejection, wasn't a dirty play? Got it...
