So, did I deserve the grief I caught?---- Yes

Is a, "flinch," toward second enough for you to decide that the BR did not, "return immediately," to first?----- What does returning immediately got to do with this? You felt he made an attempt to go to second. But he didn't, he "Flinched".


Or would you require more, like a step toward second, before you'll terminate the BR's protection?---In the act of making a U turn to the left you have to step to the left. IMO the runner would have to attempt to GO to the left.


Should I have said something to the BR to let him know he was in jeopardy?---No


Give it to me good!---That's as good as it gets. Jim you know I don't talk much.
