I don't think it is really important how many disagreements people have. What is important that, when possible, we find a common ground to help each other learn.

This is a fine point, and let me add that in this thread there seems to be no disagreement about the rule or its interpretation. The disagreement concerns the application to a particular case, which is the least serious of the three kinds of disagreement.
For those of you who feel that in the case under consideration the runner must be tagged for the out, let me ask this: the rule in OBR allows that the catcher may tag the base, not the runner, in some cases. These cases do not include the runner entering the dugout; assume that the runner has not yet entered the dugout. Please describe such a case in a way that clearly distinguishes it from the case posted in this thread. Please also say more than just "relaxed action." The devil seems to be in the details. Thanks!

In your next or first game that this comes up, make the call you think is correct and tell us what you got away with, because I gaurantee you either way, the only discussion will be when you bring it back to the board here. I don't know if it is posiible to explain it any more ways.
Now I'm going to to RELAX for the night. Am I'm not going to the dugout.
