Makes sense. If a retired or scored runner can not aid a fellow runner, as interpreted last year, then obviously a fellow runner can not aid another. The question is who to call out?
Besides, when MLB tells McClelland he was wrong he's just going to disagree with them anyway.

The results indicate the BR passed, so R1 was placed at 2b, since he was not tagged on advance.

BR did not pass, it did not appear.

Wow. And there was an umpire looking directly at the two players involved. At least I'm not the only one who makes a bad call now and then...

I've always thought I was qualified to be a MLB ump.

Oh my. Now we have to un-teach this to thousands of coaches out there. Way to go, big guys.

If you look closely, the PU makes a pushing motion when explaining the call. Could this be the call - helping the runner by pushing ? Therefore BR out and R1 at 2.

Got a cite for that rule in any book?

Yes, I see that motion. However - that's not illegal. I hate umpires that invent rules. Truly sucks that they are doing it at the MLB level now.
