One thing we often let affect our comments on this forum is too much emphasis on the game situation, timing, etc. With some exceptions, the rules are written in the abstract, not specifically for any inning, or number of outs, or for game-ending, or for tie scores, etc. An obvious exception is whether runs count on third out plays, but that does not say anything about game-endings, tie scores or how the B (batter) becomes a BR (batter-runner).
I think everyone should go back and read IrishMafia's first post in this topic.
