A runner cannot be called out for failing to advance or abandoning a base.

They can be call out for doing this during a live ball by leaving the field of play and entering DBT.

If they do not leave the field of play, the umpire does not have the authority to rule the out solely for "failing to advance" or "abandoning a base".

I thought you guys would easily get that one. Y'all trying to think too much.
