Bob's answer was not sarcastic. It might have come across as patronizing, but I don't think it was meant that way. A sarcastic answer would have been:
"Sure the run counts. The batter hit the ball over the fence, didn't he? It doesn't matter what any other runners do or how many outs there are. (See Smitty's Guide to Baseball Rules, page 214.) Two things always to remember in baseball: (1) the batter's run always counts on a home run, and (2) the hands are part of the bat."
The only part of the answer that bothered me was preceeding.
