Now I am picturing [based on the original post] the runner being the winning run and the batter being the final out. If the runnner crosses the plate is the game over ?If the game is over in one case, why would it continue in another ? |

I see no difference in this OP then the following. We have R1 less than 2 outs R1 has a VERY BIG lead and is stealing on the play. Before the ball even gets to B1 R1 is standing on second base. B1 K's and the ball gets by F2. Ruling: Since during the TOP we had R1 and less than 2 outs the batter is out. It doesn't matter that R1 was standing on second base before B1 k'd The KEY question is this: Where is the runner at TOP. For those old timers out there, R3 could have been the late Bob Hayes and not have been able to score BEFORE TOP even bagan. Pete Booth

I have to be missing something. Are we not still going to let R1 keep 2nd base, but now with one or two outs? The 1/2-inning continues. In the OP the game could be over, or tied. |

mick,
I believe Pete's point was that, even though the R1 was standing on 2B when the pitch reached the plate, since he had not reached 2B at the "TOP", 1B was still "occupied" by rule, and the batter did NOT become a runner on the third strike not caught. JM

Yet, I can find no relationship to Time of Pitch and taking a base away from a runner stealing any base, including home plate. In Pete's case the runner keeps his base. That case is exclusively applied to the batter, not to a preceding runner. I do, however, find that a runner touching home plate before there are 3 outs is a score, and that a batter is not out until a third strike.... |

How about this one We have runners at the corners and one out. B1 hits the ball to F6 who throws the ball to F4 and then on to F3 to complete the DP. In the mean-time R3 already touched the plate WELL before the DP was executed. If we go by your analysis R3's run should count becasue he scored Prior to the third out being registered. IMO, the key is where is the runner at TOP. Pete Booth

mick,
The following is from the MLBUM (my emphasis): Quote:
Since the BR did not reach 1B base safely on the play, and was the 3rd out of the inning, no run can score on the play - even if a runner touches home before he is out. Had the runner touched home prior to the pitcher initiating his delivery, then his run would score. JM

Before I go on, thanks for the time you are spending on this. Thanks for the reference from MLBUM. For me, it clearly defines Time of Pitch. But I do not think the OP is concerned with rules relating to retouches and dropped third strikes. The OP asks did the run count? Is there a section in MLBUM that answers the question of what determines a run? Below is what I found. And I still do not understand why the run by the runner stealing home, before the batter is called out on strikes, does not count. I apologize for going my old 1995 J/R again, but it is the best source that I have. [Please note, I do willingly concede to newer information that may be available.] J/R - Chapter 10 Determining a run.
ii. (example of force out removed and touching home after) iii. (example of R2 missing third with or without appeal)
ii. another runner who is forced iii. a leading runner on appeal. No runners following such runner can score.
A determination of whether an out is a force out or not can be a factor in deciding if a run counts. The third out of an inning does not prevent the defense from getting a fourth out. A runner who touches (or passes) home with the apparent winning run does not terminate the game; a subsequent out is possible. 1 assume runner to be not out 2 a run legally scored cannot be nullified by a subsequent action of the runner (i.e., runner makes unnecessary effort to return to third base in a mistaken belief that he had failed to retouch.
