C'mon now DG, let's be sensible. R2 starts out on 2nd base and he apparently thinks there are two outs when a fly ball is hit. R2 goes all the way to third without ever looking back. The fly ball is caught.

Everybody in the ballpark knows the runner left too soon. My grandma, bless her soul, in the advanced stages of her macular degeneration would've known the runner left too soon. It's not a question of a hint, it's a big fat two-by-four upside the head.
