To spark some discussion, I will say that a throw from the outfield into dead ball territory is 2 base award from time of throw. Where was runner at the time of the throw? Add 2 bases. I will cite 8-3-3c2 as a reference and see what everybody else goes for ( probably my jugular ). My logic ? ( an oxymoron if I ever used one ). It was a throw to the catcher from the outfield. The result was a ball in the dugout ( carried in by catcher who caught the throw ). Dead ball, 2 bases from time of throw.
OK folks, have at me.

Side note. Would I have called time before the walk to the dugout to prevent this from becoming a dead ball? Preventative officiating or taking a stupid coach off the hook? Another possibility on the play. Food for thought.
