In OBR, you can go to 2.0-Tag. THe concpts are the same in all codes. And, while the "force out" wording might not matter in this specific play, it can have some pretty significant differences in other plays -- that's why the focus on the responses here. See for example, 8-2-6.h |

I just know you have the knowledge, and experience to give a better and/or detailed explanation than the one provided. That is what the place is here for. I guess I was wrong in expecting more from you.

I'm waiting for the day when the home team is down one with two outs in the bottom of the last with an R3. The batter bunts, F2 throws to F3 who catches the ball but loses his footing and falls down, but his long hair grazes the base just before the B/R gets there.

To the OP - sorry for the wrong answers above. This should have been an out.

Whoa
you all need to relax. It's probably responses like these that keep a lot of newer guys from posting all of their questions, which is a shame.
I merely asked for a clarification to the OP because it wasn't immediately clear to me. Re-reading what i wrote, I can see how one might interpret my post as saying the runner needed to be tagged. This is NOT what i was saying. I'm well aware of the rules, as i said "Because on a play which requires the runner to be tagged..." I was not saying that on THAT play the runner had to be tagged. I admit I used the wrong terminology, consider me properly flogged. In my citation of the rule about tagging, I was trying to contrast the requirements for touching a base on an appeal play and the requirements for touching a runner on a tag play....where it certainly matters what hand the ball is in! Thanks for the civil response Bob. All you other Francises need to lighten up.

Ok, fair enough - we misunderstood your intent... given your clarification, though ... what did you mean by: "is the runner trying to get back to the bag because he didn't tag up?" Why is that something you wanted to know to make the proper ruling? (IOW -- if you knew it was appeal play, why did that matter?)

Everything I read was pretty tame by internet umpire standards. What people find is that internet umpires are anal in the vocabulary of umpiring. There is little to no toleration for using incorrect argot of the umpire hobbyist that float the unending land of oz. I think you taking offense was really quite funny. T |

Time playing? Did I misunderstand you?

One of the most important things an umpire can do is to "use proper terminology" especially when you do have a play that requires you to "discuss" the rule with a coach etc., Learning to use the right terminology here on the boards should help you to remember that when you have a banger play and everyone is screaming and yelling for an explanation etc, After this thread it should be easy to remember at least one thing - its not a force play. That can help especially a "newer" guy. At least that's my take Thanks David |
