debeau - you really suprise me..
Since when have you worried about the 4th out once you have three outs in the innings?
Put yourself in the BU position. You have 2 outs, you expect the fielder to throw to 1st for the obvious (no we had better say the easiest) out, however you watch the fielders catch R2 in a rundown and subsequently make the tag on R2, then what - you go looking for another out?
I don't think so.. Do you? No way, you are heading back to the inter-innings baselines just as fast as the fielders are retiring to the dugout. The 4th out is not an appeal play so end of story. Put this one to bed.
