Byron, I agree with you. If they were both on the base at the same time, then it is consistent with the rule to have R2 called out if there was a tag on him. Some here says that Longoria is blocking the camera when F2 actually tagged him. That is possible I cant tell from the camera angle. But the thing is Patterson never makes it back to third from what I can see and he is tagged out first Before Martinez is supposedly is tagged.
To keep the rule intact, dont you have to have both players on the same base at the same time then by tagging R2 (Martinez) first you get an out? If I am wrong please correct me but thats how I read the rule. If both are on the base at the same time, how can R3 (Patterson) be tagged first and called out then R2 (Martinez) be tagged secondly and called out? That just doesnt make sense to me.
