JP, I have no dog in the fight and am not arguing. As an outsider, I'm watching a video, thus the actual play, not a still shot that does not show the beginning and end. Based on the video, this angle that you see is the beginning of the slide. The slide occured right on top of the bag, not out front, and the players body popped up. What you can't see in the video is when the player popped up if he made contact with his right shoulder. From the video, you can see it was "bang, bang".

I'll do this for you, I will ask Nate Verst (2nd baseman) if the runner hit him. I'll be riding done with Ron (head coach) and get his opinion of the play as well. He would have no reason to deny at this stage. If he say's the runner did not make contact, then that should help appease the question. If he said yes, well then we are back to "he said, she said" and that doesn't get us any further.

Again, I'm not arguing the play, just stating what I could see from a limited video.
