				OK, I admit it . . .
			 
 
			
			My head hurts!
 If a player's foot lands "short" and the ball is caught and F3 is touching the base isn't the b/r "out?"
 
 If seems this makes no difference iffin the base is missed or not.
 
 The runner has not attained the base therefore he is simply "out" or am I missing something?
 
 Every guy we call out at first is called out because he is "short" of the base, right?  If we didn't call these guys "out" wouldn't you have a situation (which we often see) that when a b/r is obviously out he runs through the base and does not touch it . . . ?
 
 You only signal "safe" if the b/r misses the base and he has either beat the throw of F3 has been pulled off the bag.
 
 The only real question here seems to be: "when does after" occur.
 
 Am I misunderstanding this situation?
