true, but this could happen. If as R1 slides into 3rd I attempt to explain that the runner is safe, I will have a difficult time making the anticipated call at third. Let's say as BU you state R1 is safe (thinking you did it loud enough for everyone to hear) and switch your focus to 2B for play on BR, then see R1 enter dugout as you follow BR into third, call time when the smoke clears, confer with PU to make sure R1 did not advance home but went directly to dugout. After all this, do we call R1 out for vacating his base or assume he did not hear my safe call and credit him with home?
