Again...

Bases loaded, R3 doesn't move on the hit. R1 R2 both advance a base. There are now two runners on third and one on second. If R1 stepped off second and were tagged, would R2 be in jeopardy at third? No.

Bases loaded ball hit to the outfield. The batter decides not to stop at first but heads to second, do the other runners have to advance a base? No.

R1, R2. R2 makes it to third, but R1 was tagged out after rounding second, could R2 legally go back to second? No.

So why do all of the above common-sense concepts suddenly go out the window just because you have three people occupying a base at third?

You may disagree with Windy's statement that the person who screws up is out, but in baseball, that's most often the case. The only time when it's not is when doing that would give an advantage to the offense. (Runner passing another, batter interference at home, etc.).

Somebody else help out here. Am I nuts?
