I like Bob's defintion of missing a base "If the batter-runner is past first with both feet (such that he couldn't touch first without stopping and retreating) treat it as if he touched first. If there's a play being made, signal safe. If there's no play, signal nothing.
Then, if there's an appeal, rule on it."
If the ball gets to first before the batter has missed the bag and gone by with both feet, the BR is out. Read Bob's advice above for the rest.

It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
