I think LaRussa was arguing the Suppan shouldn't have been called out on a force since the ball was FIRST thrown to 1st, the bag tagged, forcing out the batter-runner, thus requiring Suppan to be tagged - which he wasn't.
It was a weak argument since the throw to 1st, although intended to double up Suppan, actually did NOT beat the batter-runner. So Suppan was, in fact, forced out.
