"There was a "Discussion" at our meeting by those who said it was runners only advance if forced on lodged pitch because of batter becoming a runner on ball four or strike 3. They said then and only then would runners advance (if they were forced). Am I missing something here?"

Why would runners be forced to advance on strike 3?

On a lodged ball the ball is dead and all runners advance one base. Lodged includes lodging in catcher or umpire equipment, or the chain link fence at the backstop.
