You're missing the point...
On the award, ALL runners advance. That means that all runners advance without liability to be put out to the awarded base. R2 is awarded third without liability to be put out. This means, follow me closely now, that R3 is awarded home without liability. Now, if R2 overruns 3rd and is put out AFTER having taken possession of his awarded base and it is the third out, it doesn't undo the prior award. The force is NOT removed for purposes of the award. Run scores.
You quoted me, then wrote:
(Me) "On a bases loaded walk with two out, the run scores, regardless of ensuing action."
(You) "But if the runner fails to touch home, in passing, among other things, he could be appealed for the out by the defense, so "Regardless of ensuing action" won't cut it but that wasn't my point."
Obviously you aren't paying attention, because my next statement was, "Of course, there are exceptions to that (abandonment being one),"
So, it is obvious that you are either a) trolling or b) not reading carefully, or c) really that dense. No matter how you feel about it, the clarification as written stands and that is how we will continue to call it. It is pretty clear, and the reasons for it are obvious.
