I was saying it wouldn't apply, because a BR in a pickle would not have a running lane restriction (obviously ... because BR would not then be between home and 1st base).
Hmmm.... I'm gonna have to use bigger smilies...

It was a wise-acre remark getting at a small technicality - once the BR reaches 1st, there is no longer a BR, but just an R! BRs only exist between home and 1st, where a pickle is not possible.
