STOP! You
will get into trouble if you explain it
that way!
In your first scenario, you started with R1, correct? If there is a balk, R1 is
Protected only to second base. If R1 goes beyond second, he is on his own.
Now, if you explain it that way to a coach, he will understand you. More importantly, if you remember it that way, you will apply the rule correctly in any situation! Simply remember where the runner started and how far he is protected. The rest is academic.
