1 in 5 wrong? Really?

I think the new wording in 6.05j agrees with what you are saying.

But it's a confusing world out there now.

I recently had a safe on a steal of 3B (Indy league fill in) where the high throw beat R2 but the tag was late and R2's arm had the bag before the tag hit R2's hip. I got to talk to the manager. My seasoned partner advises after the game that when the throw beats the runner it's an out. Well you still gotta make a tag. In that venue,throw beats runner equals out, in MLB with video. tag has to get runner.



Like UmpJM said: " The umpire must decide which happened based on what he perceives. Then he lets everyone know what he decided"
