Guys - Help me settle a few arguments... re: rule interpretations

[Baseball_North]

Help me settle a few arguments, and prove me either right or wrong.

(1) R1 steals. P balks on his throw to first. F3 throws the ball to 2nd, F6 tages R1, who has over-slid 2nd base.

a) R1 is out, as he touched 2nd, and over-slid at his own discretion.

or

b) R1 is safe, the balk over-rides.


(2) Bases loaded, 2 outs. Home run is hit. On appeal, R1 missed 2nd base, is declared out.

a) no runs score, this is a force out

b) R3 and R2 score

c) R3, R2, and BR score


(3) R1, 1-1 on batter. Batter swings at misses at pitch that hits him. R1 steals 2nd base.

a) dead ball, R1 returns to 1st. 1-2 on batter

b) live ball, R1 becomes R2. 1-2 on batter


(4) When there is a DH, the pitcher may pinch hit for any player in the batting order.

I say: no way, he can only hit for the DH... but my friend disagrees for somem reason.... maybe I am missing something
