The pitcher without making a play realizes the runner is committed to third and just stands there. Pretty soon we have two runners on third, and I'm trying to figure out what to do. Then one steps off. I call her out. The coach comes out to argue and I wake up.

But it of course got me thinking, is the runner at 3rd considered off her base once the runner from 2nd gets there? Or vice versa? Can they both be stopped there until the pitcher makes a play? What if the pitcher decides to get set to pitch?

Thoughts?
Bang both of them out. It's a dream! When the coach comes out to argue, shoot the coach with your pistol which all umpires have in dream scenarios.
