Bob; I have ZERO problem following or agreeing with your example. However, in my question/example, the runner did not begin to advance or RETURN to the base and the force was not removed.
If the play stands as is, and the next pitch is thrown, what happens then? A double-play at third? If it's a caught fly ball, can both runners on second stay put because the force is removed? What if, on a caught fly ball, the runner on 1st tags up and advances to 2B...can all 3 runners stay there if they like and play continues as if nothings out of the ordinary? Which runner currently on 2B has to tag up on a caught fly ball? Both? The following runner only?
I just firmly believe that something has to be done to prevent all of this potential confusion.
I don't appreciate all the negative comments I've been receiving. I don't think that each and everyone of you would know exactly what to do if this situation occured in a game you were working, so my questioning and debating the issue is an attempt to learn more.
Thank you.
