strange play

No warning necessary. You bang the runner out, regardless. This is a rules violation.

This is not a travesty of the game! If you call time and call him out, you had better be ready to eject the coach also.

This is stupidity on th offense and the defense if they let themselves get involved. By the time these boys have gotten to this level they should know how to play the game. Ignore this type of behavior and let the runner be part of a DP.

I see why charlie47 would make that statement. It appears that the rulemakers have to decided to go with ONE interpretation, rather than to allow the players on the field to decide the matter for themselves. Support exists for an umpire warning and then an out. BRD301-421, "If he persists, he is out. Above all, the umpire must not permit the defense to play on the runner." The letter of this OBR interpretation would contradict his statement.

OBR 7.08 (i) After he has acquired legal possession of a base, he runs the bases in reverse order for the purpose of confusing the defense or making a travesty of the game. The umpire shall immediately call “Time” and declare the runner out;

How would there be a DP?

Always happens right after someone makes an irrelevant comment about irrelevance.
