Timing Play?
Situation: R1, R2, R3 1 out. Batter hits short fly ball to left, which is caught; runner tags and LF overthrows home, with the run scoring. On the over throw, R2 gets in a pickle between Home and 3B, eventually scoring on an over throw into left, and R1 being thrown out at 3B for the final out. An appeal to third on the initial runner leaving early is upheld. Any runs score?

No. If a preceding runner makes the 3rd out for any reason, no trailing runs score.

Agree with the others. And this really isn't a timing play.
A timing play is when a runner tries to score just as the third out is being recorded on another runner, and that third out is not a force out, or an out on the batter before he reaches first safely. The "timing" of when that runner touches home (before or after the out) determines whether or not he scores. |
No runs score. This is not an example of a "TIME" play.

No, he has said what he means.
For those of us with age it is called a "pickle." T |

No Johnny.
I felt you were condesending to the original poster. By taking that attitude with him ("err, let me correct you to proper umpire argo . . .") you showed why guys like Ozzy and I sometimes have problems with younger people. T |

I maybe should've used a different tone. That's fair feedback. Point taken. |
