Well, it would be interference and the B-R would be out. Other runners return. If judged a willful and deliberate attempt to prevent a DP the B-R and the runner closest to home would be out.

As described in the OP and the follow-up, has anyone ever seen a runner that stupid?

THAT'S more like Rich.😃 I haven't found that runner yet, but I bet he's out there!:rolleyes:

Thank you, folks. You have reenforced my thoughts on the play. My apologies for getting a little bent.

Look at exception 4 - in my scenario, one of the players is attempting to alter the play. So who's out in #4?

Look at that would ya, it's not such a TWP afterall. They wrote it in a rule book!!

Let's go with your answer for now (still clarifying the whole thing) - if R3 is advancing, you say he's out, put the batter back in the box. Does the pitch count?

No for a "yeah-but" - these are batter's interference, and the batter is actually now a runner. Do the BI rules still apply?

Exception (4) says batter/runner

And Rule 7-11 states

When Batter or Batter-Runner Is Out

So I would say yes.
