CZ, I asked you to try elsewhere because you wouldn't accept the response.

You came here. Fine. I saw it. I kept silent.

Yet in spite of several more responses (and me keeping out of it) indicating you are misunderstanding the rule, you continued to not accept the answer, indicated by your statements "He still hasn't acquired second, right?" and "Please someone, how is this wrong?"

I then summarized of the responses and added some rules instructor items to show you it is a universally accepted interpretation.

You then take this as some kind of insult.

You asked where else you can go. There are other boards. You will get the same answer on them because the answer is what it is.

I'm sorry you don't "get it" because it's a fundamental baseball thing, as illustrated by numerous responses from many folks and the rules instruction community.

BTW:


If you really want to have your mind blown, ask about what the call is if a batter-runner beats a throw to first but misses the base in the process.
