I understand the reference to not picking boogers here ... but not picking this particular booger can get you in trouble if the other team is paying attention. We discussed in the earlier thread that all runners must reach their bases or be subject to appeal. The problem on this one is that the BR should be called out BEFORE any appeal is necessary, and if I'm the coach on the other side, I'm going to expect you to do so.
I admit that I understand the motivation for ignoring this call --- I just don't know if I could actually do so on the field. Maybe that makes me OOO, I don't know - but this one just feels wrong to me to ignore.
