Uhhh...dude, bro, brutha...I call all my friends by those names. It's a term of endearment. All my buddies know that.

So it is the obligation of others who are not your "buddies" to know your intent? That sounds like the thinking of an 8th grader.

Chris and UmpJM are members of the same association. The comments were in jest.

No, you (and others) wouldn't have known. That's why mbyron asked and Chris answered.

Just an update - I contacted the NCAA for the proper ruling in this sitch.

For NCAA - call the proper batter out, get the next batter in the box and allow the advance, because the IB did not advance the runner with a batted ball or by his award.

More to come.

I disagree with them:

7-11-a2: ...and all runners return to bases held before action by the improper batter. However, any advances by a runner(s) (e.g., stolen base, balk, wild pitch, passed ball) while the improper batter is at bat are legal.

8-2-a: The batter becomes a base runner instantly after four balls have been called by the umpire.

If the batter instantly becomes a runner, then anything that happens after that point is nullified with a successful BOO appeal. Therefore, any advance after the pitch is ruled ball four should be nullified.

Here is a relevant thread from 5 years ago. (OBR only, however.)
