Possibly so, but I think the others are saying that if Abel would have made only 3B, then Baker has no protection and is in jeopardy of being tagged out. All the answers to Play #2 had Baker out when tagged. Would you protect Baker in that play?
I think that I would. It is bascially the same thing. She
was OBSD going back to 3RD. If I felt that is the base she
would have made, then another runner is now affected by the
outcome.
