i need to be more clear. I understand that with two outs it makes sense to call out the batter so he will not be up to bat in the next inning. I am talking with less than two outs.
What i am looking for is a reason to create a more severe penalty for a runner going from third to home than from second to third.
If the same penalty is used from third to home as from second to third, the run would not score. The batter would be called out, and the runner would be sent back to third. This creates no advantage for the offense, and they are substantially penalized by now having another out. If the play is repeated (with only one out) they will still not gain an advantage.
It seems as though the FED rulemakers are for some reason giving a more severe penalty where one does not seem necessary.
thanks
