Mike, I'm sure you know that (a) the BR attempting to acquire 1B is never technically a force play, and (b) this is not a time play, and no run could have scored had there been R3 and this the 3rd out (4.09(a)).

This looked like relaxed action to me: the runner was not attempting to return when the base was tagged.

The runner turned, headed for the bag, stumbled and gave up when the bag was touched.

I have heard that MLB is moving away from relaxed/unrelaxed, but I like it. It makes sense to me. So, to answer your question, no: I would require that the runner be tagged.

A) Yes ... just using shorthand. B) good point. My bad.

I'm sure you meant "during relaxed action".

A couple of things concerning this sitch and pro rules:
a: there is no relaxed/unrelaxed terminology b: although some things are the same, missed home plate and a missed base are two different senarios and fall under different rules c: the appeal process is treated differently when a player misses a base he was forced to or the BR missing first base versus a non force missed base, tag play. If a player misses the base he is forced to or the BR misses first, the fielder can either tag the runner or the base regardless if the runner is attemping to return during the appeal attempt. This is a force play situation. When a runner misses a base in a non force situation (tag play), if the runner is attemping to get back, this is still considered a tag play and the player must be tagged. This is a tag play situation. If the runner advances or is not trying to correct his missed base error, then the base may be tagged in lieu of tagging the runner. I know what JR says. I don't care and neither does MLB. |

So....
TT,
I believe you work somewhere in pro ball.... So, under MLB/MiLB as constituted, if F3 dives back to the bag, when the BR misses the bag, it is considered an appeal, vocal or not. And if he hits the bag before the BR, he's out. And it must be an intentional act, not an unintentional act. Is this correct? Quote:

I know you know this, but, if a runner beats the throw to first and subsequently misses it, F3's touch of first as a result of the attempted play to initially retire the BR is not considered an appeal and an out is not recorded. A simple "safe" mechanic is used. |

Does the MLBUM or PBUC Manual discuss this situation?
