Buster: The batter-runner failing to go to first is not an infraction.

How about this: R1, 2 out: B1 rolls to short who flips to second for the third out. Does the batter-runner have to run to first?

How about this: R2, R3 (moving on the pitch), 2 out. B1 rolls to short, who tags R2 for the third out AFTER R3 scores. Does the batter-runner have to run to first?

Good Lord, Buster: You've been calling ball in Texas for 30 years. Did you ever call anyone out at first base during live action FOR THE FOURTH FREAKING OUT?

Buster: It's smoke and mirrors, mirros and smoke.

Hey, Bubba: When I've got three out and no baserunning infraction (missed base/left too soon), I don't have to justify anything to a coach.
