Which is more surprising; Emmel not immediately realizing this was a force play, or the announcers thinking it was a tag play.........

Technically, it's not a "force play" at first. It's a missed base appeal. And my understanding is that if the B/R does not successfully acquire 1B as the third out, no run scores. Basically, the B/R must occupy 1B or any runners advancing on the play do not score.

Did they end up scoring the run or wiping it?

Exactly continuing action at first still treated as appeal of missed base, therefore no run should be scored.

There is no such thing as a force play at first base. There is no such thing as a force play at first base. There is no such thing as a force play at first base.There is no such thing as a force play at first base.

Click on it after it starts playing. It will come up at the original site.

At least it did for me.

Next time feel free to ignore the link.

Somebody got up on the wrong side of home plate.

He was helping you. Being nice. For all of us. I've done it for people.

That's all

First off, thank you blueump for finding the play and sharing with the forum.

I wasn't trying to be snarky with my post, and if you thought I was, I apologize as it wasn't my intent. As MLB has only allowed embedding of plays recently, a lot of people don't know that MLB has embedable clips and was trying to point that out since it adds convenience for almost all.

My bad. You're right I overreacted and took it personal. I apologize for my harshness.

I wonder if the professionals read these kinds of forums. I'm not saying that we know more than they do. It's just that all kinds of screwy situations happen out there in our games that are rare in theirs. If they read about them, they might be more ready to rule confidently when something screwy happens in their games.

I don't know how often I've been prepared when something odd came up that I had already read about.
