Sounds like MLB has instructed to get it right no matter what rules/conventional logic you need to use. They basically guessed the end of the play!
Granted, it is what probably should have happened. But suddenly baseball is the only sport that can go back and guess like this. Player is ruled out of bounds in football and then gets tackled 15 yards down field, tough luck. Can't guess the end of the play. Same with basketball, call him OOB, he's out, end of story.
I just don't like it one bit... after they ruled no catch, shouldn't have R1 been out on force when F8 threw to 2B to double up R2.
Maybe I'm just not thinking outside the box enough...
