I have a LBR out. Since the ball was in the circle and the batter/runner made it to first and the pitcher made no motion while in the circle, the runner at third has to make a decision whether to go back to third or advance home. I have called this out numerous times over the years. This is similiar to if the girl would have stayed on third while this happened and then came off the base. When I work with someone that I regularly work with, the BU takes the batter/runner into second while the PU watches what the runner at third is doing. There is timing involved as to when and if the pitcher makes a motion. If the runner from third is just standing there watching the play in hopes that the pitcher makes a motion toward the batter/runner, I have an out. Dave
