Regarding the original topic of the thread...
This happened tonight in a MLB game: Pirates vs. Indians which BTW went another 15 innings.
No outs. Runner on 1B. Pitcher is up with a 1-1 count. Bunts a high pop up that F3 bobbles--touched in fair territory. The BR stops about 10 feet from the bag. R1 is still on 1B. F3 stands between the BR and 1B. F3 eventually steps towards 1B, tags it with his foot (replays show that he was actually a foot away from the bag), PU calls the BR out before F3 makes his play. I didn't understand it when I saw it, but that doesn't matter.
From what I've read, the Indians could've had a double play by tagging R1 first and then touching the bag. If they would've touched the bag first, then R1 would've been safe. Am I right?
