Batter-Runner hits a grounder to an infielder who throws to 1st base in order to retire the runner. The throw is not in time however the runner misses 1st base and touches a point beyond the base. Should the runner be called immediately out for the bag being tagged by the fielder before the runner or does this require an appeal play on the runner for missing 1st base?
Not arguing w/ anybody, but have two questions:

1.) Does the time interval make a difference:
A= BR steps over/ misses bag at same time ball arrives;
vs.
B= BR misses base & is 2 steps past when ball arives ?

2.) Do you signal safe (in either A or B, above) before F3 appeals the missed base?
