You must not have read carefully...
I said that my comments were not directed at this mechanic, because I agree with BU taking both.
However, if I wanted to play devil's advocate with you (cause its so much fun), I would answer the following:
"What happens with R1, basehit, RF overthrows the play at 3rd? The same exact thing.
In the R2 sitch discussed previously, no runner is going to be disregarded as you suggested. 2 umpires, 2 runners. PU comes to the cutout for play at 3rd, then retreats to home in fair territory after the overthrow. BU takes any play on B/R."
Again, never ever in this thread did I say I agreed with PU coming up on this play. All I said was that was what was taught here until this past year, and that just because its in the Evans manual does not make it be all end all as you suggested. In fact, I believe there are a few cases where the Evans book deviates from what is taught at PBUC, but I could be wrong. Hope to find out soon enough.
