So when the runner heads toward 2B during the live ball without being tagged, how are you going to support the ruling when it is protested?
It's a live ball and the runner is allowed to advance at their own peril. Unless the runner missed the base (which is not part of this scenario), there is no appeal available at that point.

If the ball is thrown to the pitcher after the attempt, the defense has lost the out. There has to be an out for the attempt.

If F3 threw the ball to the pitcher in the circle, the LBR is in effect the the runner cannot change her mind.
