Never guess an out and never take that initial call. The live ball appeal was your partners call and he should have lined it up to get a view of the catch and the lead runner tag.

And this would also be true on the line drive catch by F6 flipping to F4 for a DP with runners on first and second?

Good question, and one that'll send this thread on a tangent.
I'm in C, shoestring liner to F4. It hits bottom and bounces up into the glove. Since I'm at 90 degrees to the batted ball (and PU is straightlined), I clearly see that there was leather under the ball when it hit. PU signals no catch.

The different versions of chaos that can happen here are numerous. Runners (knowing it was caught) don't run, but then are called out when forced. F6 (thinking doubling R1 off 2B) only gets one out, etc.

What is the mechanic here?
