Not to beat a dead horse, but my take on Rut's sitch is you can never error on the side of safety. Not being an EMT or medically trained much beyond advanced first aid, I don't want to have to answer to anyone about why I let further injury occur to a player. I'll place runners, take the protest, and sleep that night just fine.

I had this happen to me, F1 takes a screamer off the bat that hits him dead square in the forehead. He does a 360 and falls flat on his face, ON TOP OF THE BALL. Does anyone here contend the play should remain live in this situation?
F2 laying in a heap at the plate, hurt/unconcious, following runners bearing down. You don't kill the play?
