Ruling on this ...
Situation: R1 & R2. F3 not holding R1. The defense puts on a play in an attempt to pickoff R1. The play is supposed to work like this; F3 breaks for the bag while F1 twirls and throws. Fairly common. However, as F1 twirls toward 1st, F3 is late arriving to the bag. So F1 holds up, waits a split second for F3 to arrive at the bag, then throws. F1 throws wildly and the ball goes into dead-ball territory.
