Suggestion:
ASA rules - POE 1C(2) If the ball has gone out of play, runners must be given the opportunity to complete their base running responsibilities, before the dead ball appeal can be made.
8.7H states that the BR is entitled to a HR. Unless she physically enters the dugout area (Dead Ball) prior to tagging the plate, the defense is not entitled to a dead ball appeal.
Reminder to everyone to watch the runners tagging up on the bases as best as you can and to the PU's, watch the runners tagging up on the plate. As long as no one physically assist her with returning to tag the plate, she can come back in a reasonable time to resovle the issue. If she enters the dugout area without tagging, she is out?
This forum comes up with some thought provoking questions. This is my second year as an ASA umpire.
