The only thing I see in the scorebook is Ian safe at third.

I think he knew he was pushing it going for 3 so slid too late.

I am trying to come up with any scenario that makes sense. It almost looks like his hands grabbed and messed him up, but he slid just fine. He came close to getting his bell rung on the base.

I think he was a lot closer to the base than he thought, so he didn't actually need to go in head first, but he didn't realize it until he was already committed.

BTW, when he turns his head towards the camera, he makes an awesome DERP face.

yeah I think he slid late, tried to just slide in on his hands and they buckled.

yeah, he was looking at the dugout and knew he was going to get kicked in the nuts over that slide

We had a good laugh too, since he seemed okay.

I can counter that with this Kinsler-is-a-bad-ass knock-that-shit-out of-your-leather slide, take a serious upper cut, score and return to the game

when you see the whole play, it looked like for whatever reason his foot was caught right before the gif shows, and he basically just fell, that's why his hands went down so hard, followed by his head...

Agreed, pretty funny
