Then there is no argument.

I believe Dash is invisioning a bang/bang situation with the runner not having the time to establish control and posession when he is hit by the fielder.

I have had to make this call just once in 30 years of umpiring. It was at the D-1 level on a pick off play at second. The runner came back standing up and the tag came down right after his lead foot reached the bag. His body still had some mometum and the hard tag knocked his foot off the bag.

Out.

Some discussion ensued but no one was ejected.
