From the video, it appears to me that F4 DID tag R1 first and then the bag & the BR, contrary to what the writer states... (though it is all moot because "intentionally dropped ball" was invoked).
It appears that this might have been one of those odd-ball rehearsed plays to see if the fielders could get away with it...

It's close, but maybe you can look again. When R1 was tagged, the foot was already on the base.
Good call by Blue.
