8.7.P. Pretty much the same as the recently cited play where a fallen retired runner, even though still in what was his basepath stands up and is hit with a throw in an attempt to make a play on another runner.

My thoughts on this were that yes, the runner can't just go "poof" as we always say here (and elsewhere). However, to me, the key is whether or not the runner had enough time to get out of the way of any potential play. If R2 had sufficient time to react and choose the wrong path, then we would have INT. If not, then it's a case of "runner can't just go 'poof.'"

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