One other point ...

Many fans (and coaches) confuse the live ball appeal with a "force." Just because all the defense has to do is tag the base on a live ball appeal does not mean that out is a "force." It is a live ball appeal. Whether it is a force or not is determined by whether the runner was forced to advance to that base because the batter became a batter-runner.
