For the record, the rule you quoted should be 7.09(d).
It seems you were right and I was wrong. I really hate the way the OBR are written. No wonder there are 50,000 cases, interpretations and many manuals that attempt to decipher it.
You would think that when a rule states, "the catchers play at home base" it actually meant a play at home and not him making a play from home to another base. How annoying. It seems though that you are correct.
Sorry for the confusion.
And why the hell don't they put the rules for the batter under the batters rules and not the runners anyway? Unless he becomes a runner, it should be under the batter rules. Urgh!

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. 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
