OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

I’m hoping this WS will provoke the definitive scientific study on whether running standing up or sliding is better on a force play
 
Someone told me they analyze non force plays

In any case, just give us the fucking answer. I don’t need a 48 min prologue

If you think about it, the slide would seem to be all about getting low, so that the fielder, who is standing, will have to spend a second to drop down and apply the tag, and by then, the feet have already hit the bag and thus the tag is late.

But on a force play, there's no tag, so the slide becomes useless and only costs you the time it takes to drop and then the drag aspect of feet to ground, both of which delay the touch of the plate.

So, I'd start from the premise that sliding is only for potential tag-out plays and never for force-out plays.

The quick tldw videos only come from the videos that diagnose severe medical issues for people that they've never met. Sorry.

Anyways, your take that IKF reacted like the most important play of the season (at that point) was a nothing burger is being slept on

He probably thought he was safe and was going to the clubhouse to get a beer. Very understated guy.

Probably has undiagnosed sleep apnea which leaves him in a perpetual state of sleepwalking through life and choking at the biggest moments
