Merry Christmas
I doubt you'll get the response you were looking for tonight.
The situation Pete describes is taken from the MLBUM {or JEA}. Pete already gave you the situation right out of the book. Perhaps, you'll find it written in a casebook, the BRD, or J/R. But you will not find proper umpire mechanics in a rulebook. It adresses two events differently. Intent of both is the same. 1) miss home, no signal or signal safe and voice "No tag" on a very close play and 2) miss 1B, signal safe. Why is it different? Umpire should not alert offense or defense to the possibility of a missed base. Considered coaching by some and an big no-no by umpires. Edit: To correct mechanic 1 above by adding empahsis on a play at the plate.
