Shame on everyone; I don't bail anyone out on this play.
Shame on bigsig (sorry, dude); blew the rule, BUT he didn't make the defense miss the ball, nor did he make the runner stop. Runners need to know the game situation (outs, the counts) no matter what is incorrectly indicated by an umpire, and play accordingly. When someone makes a play, I will rule on it; if that play has BR out, then BR is out.
IMO, no jeopardy attached. DMU, DMD, DMC, and DMBR.
