If it's so important to you to discuss "real" situations and educate umpires on how to call balls/strikes and safe/out, I suggest you feel free to do so (although I wish you luck - as this is an all-text board, I fear you will have some difficulties there).
However, I would add that I suspect that while you think you know what to do in ALL "real" situations, and maybe you actually DO know .... can you tell us the relevant rule(s) that would cause you to rule a certain way in the situations provided in this thread. In other words ... what would you rule, and why. And after determining that - is it possible that the rule needed to cause you to make such a ruling is applicable in other situations? If so, can you see how discussing the impossible makes us all better at ruling on the improbable?
If not ... for goodness sake just ignore the thread - don't blast those that might have actually been interested.

Back in high school English class we called the above gobbly gook. And no discussing stupid plays that have a snow balls chance in h*ll happening is a waste of time.
Enough stupid things happen on the field that should be discussed at length missed bases, interference, obstruction advantagous fourth outs etc. Don't waste bandwith on this nonsense. JMHO
