Lman & CoachJM,
As I indicated it would be a stretch to "Award" the Tripple Play. But a case could be made, a fairly weak one, absent of any overt intentional actions by R3. It would seriously depend on that runners actions. Anthing short of calling attention to himself should be dismissed and the defense needs to take the DP and run. If the runners advance to 2nd & 3rd without this intentional act, good for the offence because they knew the situation and were paying attention. As for the defense, pay a little more attention to the situation and you might have gotten the Tripple Play, but as it is, some people were asleep at the wheel.
