Steve M,
I think you must be missing something because the point you raised is exactly what you copied from my previous post. In ASA, a runner must enter dead ball territory to be declared out for abandonment.
And I agree that failing to touch a base one is "forced" to touch after the 3rd out of the inning probably shouldn't be an appeal play. I was simply stating that if I could handle that interpretation much easier than just continuing the play on a slow runner for a fourth out as a means to nullify a run.
