I might say "that's nothing!" after the play to show that I saw that the runner was out of the lane and hit by the ball, but that's about it.
I don't think that there would be much time lag in this particular play (which is a TWP, btw) between the thrown ball touching the BR and the fielder making the play.

What do you do with the play where BR is offline and the throw hits him and cause enough lag in time or ability to make a clean catch? Reward BR for rules violations?
I got a good throw, BR is offline, I got Rs elsewhere, I am looking to keep R stuck to their originating bases.
