"The easiest way to handle this is to just delete the LBR altogether. When the pitcher has the ball in the infield and all obvious play is finished, kill the ball. The ball can only be live when the pitcher is standing in contact with the pitcher's plate. Other existing rules would handle any runner leaving the base during this period.
Now that is a solution that we can all live with. Simple and
apparently has no loop holes. I like it.
