Middle infielders have to have the majority if not all the responsibility in getting out of the way while making the throw. It was always a skill that went along with the rest of their skill sets. It was always part of the game and was never an issue. The Utley slide was dirty. I agree with the runner having to maintain contact with the bag, but if physical contact occurs while doing so, then that's on the infielder.

 

Never an issue...until Ryan Freel put a gun to his head and was found to have CTE

Grichuk's slide could have been viewed as a roll block, which is illegal and always was. Just time your slide where you won't overslide the bag but still take out the infielder's legs, but stay down.
