We've got a rule that doesn't say immediate or delayed dead ball (for the tag that makes no safe-out difference). We've got a...

Not "when you get around to it", but when playing action ends, as the Comment to Sit 5.1.2 instructs. I certainly agree that dead ball & delayed dead ball are different. A dead ball is immediate,...

I cited the case book plays above: 8.4.3, Sit C ... no mention of immediate dead ball, and base award is "at the end of playing action."

I understand what you're all saying & I really don't want to argue with multiple umpires with your level of experience. I'll try to call things in the future as you suggest. There remain some...

Umpire should award a base (a "more than halfway" rule of thumb was suggested) to a runner who hasn't been affected by the obstruction. The runner was...
