The issue is whether or not a tie can exist or be perceived.

But if there was actually a tie the runner is safe by rule because the tag has to be made before the runner touches the base to get an out. If it's a tie it wasn't before. Safe.

Not always. On a retouch appeal (doubling-up), tie goes to the fielder - by rule.

What gets to me about Joe Morgan is his need to repeat everything three times. He'll make a decent baseball observation, but by the time he's repeating it the third time in his slow methodical way I'm ready to turn the channel or mute the volume.

True but that's not a force and nobody yells on that one anyhow in my experience. It's more of an "aw sh!t" reaction on an unavoidable one or a berating of the runner on an avoidable one.
