You guys don't have any obligation to tell a runner to get back on the bag before he walks off the field if he is safe.
woulda been nice to get that explanation instead of the BS about retreating to 2B being the cause.
who knows though. too late now.

Obligation? I consider it more the responsibility of the coaches to tell their runner to get back on the base, but I repeat to a runner leaving the base that they were safe. Most of the time, the runner just hangs around the base and asks when the play is over.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
