I asked this of a rules guy I know. He agreed with me that by rule we should call this out. He also pointed out, however, that if BR was the first to "abandon", then the other runners are no longer forced to advance - thus making THEIR outs timing plays.

Now, Mike, in the original post, there was one out. While I agree they can't all be timing plays, it certainly would matter in what order you recognized the other runners' failure. If R3 abandoned before R2, R3's out is a force, while R2's is now a timing play.
