LL 2B Slide on Double Play

[Velho]

As we discussed the other day, LL rulebook doesn't address legal slide so reverts to bona fide slide as LL is OBR based.

That doesn't fly in high school. 

And you wonder why they lose their minds when we call it... It's not illegal for a 12 year old, but a 17 year old senior?..

What are you seeing that is illegal in high school?  The popup is after the contact and it looks like the contact is in the danger zone and not to the left/right of the base.

Hard to tell in that video, but I am leaning with @BLWizzRanger . . . I don't see anything the runner did there that looked illegal.  It isn't a pop up slide, he doesn't roll over, he goes into the bag . . .

Looks to me as if the fielder didn't clear away from the bag and tried to go over him.

Unfortunately this was the only time they showed the play.

I see the runner slide in straight and then roll into the fielder side of the bag and make contact with the fielder who didn't clear the bag. Not arguing that is or isn't FPSR but that's what I see (though I clearly see it as bona fide).

I have a pop up into the fielder. He went from the ground to all fours into the fielder. Pop up doesn't need to be to his feet. He lifted his body off the ground into the fielder. If you have contact on the bag prior to the runner getting up, then I agree. But I've got the act of him coming up causing the contact.
