I assume that you put R2 on third because if the play went as it should have, R2 would have held at third with R3 being safe and the catcher holding the ball. That makes sense.
In that situation, if the catcher wrongly assumes a force and the runner then tags home and is safe, what is the correct mechanic on that play? Are umpires supposed to signal a safe call on the play even though there is no force and no play (read tag) was attempted on R3 at home?
It reminds me of a pick off throw to first where no tag is attempted on the runner because he easily beats the throw. No play/tag on the runner so no signal necessary, correct?
