Agreed. The footage is clear to me and if it isn't, how do you get clipped or caught by the ankle from behind into a baseball slide. Makes zero sense. He slid on purpose. Period.
Instead of the back and forth like we were really there,...how about we up the evidence?
Thanks to people continuing this on and on like he cant be caught from behind, I've verified now that he literally was caught from behind.
1) Baseball sliders don't necessarily slow down b4 the slide. Guerendo did not slow down.
2) I can now verify that both of his legs were contacted by the defender while he was fully upright instead of just 1.
Obviously, he went into a slide motion afterwards. I don't think the defender "forced" this slide-type position with some kind of unique strength, and I can't prove that the defender fully brought him down by himself. But obviously from the cropped video, we should all be able to agree with the obvious, which is that he was caught by behind. It's okay.
