I agree 110%
no ifs ands or buts, Ball beats runner=BR out. No other options Total agreement.

Runner beats ball to any base SAFE no ifs and or buts. 110% of the time, SAFE. Total agreement.
We could be brothers even soul mates we're so much in agreement

Conversely, if ball doesn't beat runner to first, runner is safe. Agreed?
