Good footwork by the umpire there...

I know it's part of it, it's just annoying when the runner goes several feet away from the bag, you're supposed the actually slide for the bag while attempting to break up the double play. The umps can eject a player for trying to hurt the SS/2B in a play like that.

What are u talking about its part of the game ive play SS and expect this on every doubleplay

@Haeinscute dude it's part of the game? the shortstop was even expecting it because he knows he would do it if he were the runner you're an idiot

@Haeinscute no. He shouldn't be ejected... He isn't trying to hurt the fielder just simply keep him from throwing the ball for a double play. I do it all the time..:)

Nice, love how he was like 5 feet away from the bag as he tried to slide into the bag, guys like that should be ejected for clearly attempting to hurt the fielder. Padres did a similar slide tonight

Making it look easy to evade that Runner NICE!
