umpjim "d. Runners who are not sequential and were not stealing must return to their TOP base." Unless the CI was during a squeeze or steal of home where 7.07 (OBR) occurs. I would say let's not mix FED and OBR in this discussion but I just did.
BretMan FED Case Play: 8.3.1 SITUATION B R1 is on third and R2 is on second. R1 breaks from third in an attempted suicide squeeze play. As B3 attempts to bunt, F2 touches tip of bat or steps across home plate, catches the ball and tags R1. R2 remains on second. RULING: Catcher obstruction. The umpire awards B3 first base and R1 home. Since R2 was not attempting to steal or was forced, he remains on second.
mbyron umpjim wroteIt's not release of pitch; it's time of pitch 1-1-3 You mean 1-1-4. I was thinking of OBR for some reason. 4.03a
