It should be common sense, but...

Thank goodness that the defense didn't appeal the BR's touch of first base, because I had no clue.

Everyone is reacting oddly to this one.

Do you really expect BU in A to cover the centerfielder moving back on the ball?

Depends which way he turns. He turns towards me in A, I'm going out.

That is the one ball that BU has to get. PU will have F8 between him and the ball.

On just about any other trouble ball, if BU has a brain fart, a crew can fake the funk. On this, there's no way.
