Now, if there are 2 outs at the TOP, play it out and I would accept the appeal on Charles missing 1B.
Play B
After it's obvious that play is over and the defense is just grasping at straws byt hoping Baker leaves 2B, Time called. Once I've called Time, nothing else matters. We've got all the time in the world to figure that out.

If it doesn't matter, why do you need to call time?
Second play isn't even a discussion.
First play, you've got my attention. I would agree if there was a lull in the play. If this was all continuous, I would have to take a lot into consideration. I may take into consideration how the runner on 2B came to be tagged. If it was obvious the runner was still involved in the play and got caught. What was the timing of this as compared to the run scoring. IOW, HTBT and you just cannot dismiss the possibility of anything on this play depending on how it developed.
However, after rereading the OP, I would have to change the way I saw the play and agree with Steve on this particular play.
