Exactly. He popped up quickly to avoid landing on the defender's arm and because he already slid into the guy's leg. The play should basically be dead once the runner touches the base safely and the defender has the ball but is continuing being over the bag. It's essentially the defender forcing the runner off by holding a tag and it's happened more than once this year.
