This is irrelevent to last night because there was no appeal. However, at what point does Allen Craig have to touch the awarded base (HP)?
How much time is he given to do so? What if the catcher had stepped on the plate and appealed that AC didn't touch the plate?
Consider this: A1 hits a HR over the RF wall. As he touches first and rounds the base, he and the first-basement get into an altercation and both are ejected. Does the HR stand or is the BR also called out for not touching all the bases? Does his sub get to/have to finish touching the awarded bases?
That's alot of questions!!! Sorry. I know Rutledge isn't busy anyway.
Get to answering.
