Gee,
In my oppinion the BR has abandoned his run to First. And the fielder need not wait until he tags to make the throw to second. And futher more, that the first baseman choose to go after the BR knowing that he has to run to first is even more reason to call the BR out.
I can't see, and this is feasible, the first baseman running the BR back to home. At some point you have to stop it. It is not smart baserunning. I will call it a travesty whether you agree or not.
Not everyone interpets the Rules the same. The application of the rules for the most part is left up to the discretion of the umpire. We are not machines. Nor should we act like ones.
And your point about Softball and Baseball, so what, they are both games that require baserunning. I was just pointing out how ASA has simplfied that situation. And I like it. It makes it a lot easier on the fielders and umps.
