Crazy Baserunning - How do you handle?
 

FED game. R1 R3 0 outs. Coach has R1 take off out to RF prior to the pitch hoping to draw a balk . The pitcher does not balk. The runner is now in RF.

Lets disregard the runner on 3rd for this discussion. Does the defense have to go out to RF to tag the runner out? I assume they do. I see nothing in the rulebook other than the 3 feet rule when making a play on the runner.

Thanks

Search "Skunk in the outfield". This gets covered 10 times a season, and already once just last week. I'm not sure we have to go through this yet again.

Yea, please, let's not rehash this all over again.


bob, can you make the best 'skunk' thread a sticky, or something? It could be right next to the 'you can't see a gyroball without a HSM' thread ;)

Let's also make a sticky for all of LMan's pithy comments.:)
