Although HP Umpire Valentine ruled the pitch ball four, Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez threw to shortstop Bo Bichette as runner Crow-Armstrong slid into second base, ruled safe by 2B Umpire Scheurwater, overturned to out via Replay Review as the result of a challenge by Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. Replays indicate Crow-Armstrong touched second base, then momentarily broke contact with the base and was tagged at this time, but did not pass the base, the call was correct.* At the time of the ejection, the Cubs were leading, 7-2. The Cubs ultimately won the contest, 9-6. This is Jordan Baker (71)'s 5th ejection of 2026.*Pursuant to the technical rule, this call is correct. Except when it isn't. At issue is Official Baseball Rule 5.05(b)(1) Comment, which states, "If, in advancing, the base runner thinks there is a play and they slide past the base before or after touching it they may be put out by the fielder tagging them."Meanwhile, OBR 5.09(b)(6) states, regarding force plays, "The force is removed as soon as the runner touches the base to which they are forced to advance, and if they overslide or overrun the base, the runner must be tagged to be put out." (Bear in mind that the runner is forced to advance by virtue of the batter becoming a runner, which is subject to the same standard for 'when does protection end?' as any other force play.)This pits two different standards against each other for the same play: "past the base" and "overslides the base", which mean different things. Whereas passing a base is defined as having both feet on the ground past the leading edge of the base, "OVERSLIDE (or OVERSLIDING) is the act of an offensive player when his slide to a base, other than when advancing from home to first base, is with such momentum that he loses contact with the base."Ultimately, the stricter standard of oversliding takes the day and PCR is called out pursuant to OBR 5.09(b)(4): "Any runner is out when they are tagged, when the ball is alive, while off their base."
