The last one he would have been out for sure had he gone feet first, but I’m less convinced of the other two, especially when studies show you get to first faster by running through it rather than sliding.

You can find him on the DL if you’re looking for him.

There’s a lot of truth here, though. What does it matter which way he prefers to slide when he has told the press he doesn’t like taking a base on potentially close plays?
