No.. you directly contended that you would take away a hit with an immediate deadball... ie wipe away a double OR a homer and reward CO... on an attempted bunt.. sure the play would be killed, but your scenario was a hit and I contend that on a hit, be it to 2nd base, to the out field, or on a homer normal CO applies even if runners are going.. so as to not advantage defense and reward for CO. You DDB a hit.
I gave a number of scenarios where a hit would be normal CO and you stood by your ruling every time based simply on the fact a runner at 3B was going.
Its flat our wrong..
I dont think this needs to go to email.. it isnt like we are calling names or whatever, its a debate on a rule.. and you are flat out incorrect in your interpretation which results in rewarding CO and as mike now says (and I've said all along), judgement must be used so as to not reward CO as you would do.
You cant undeadball a premature dead ball call.. but you CAN DDB and adjust later - you simply are incorrect in application, thats all there is to it.
