Tagging a runner on a base

Even though he is standing on 2nd he is still out? Why wouldn't F6 have to throw the ball to third to get the force?

While you may be thinking of it that the runner is forced to his next base, you might want to change your thinking to that he is forced from the base he already has. With that said, there is no safety on a base he is forced to leave.

Of course, once a following runner is retired, he is then no longer forced to leave his original base.
