Ending the Slaughter - Coach says his runner will leave early. Runner stays on base.
Blowout JV game tonight. Winning coach was telling his players to stop advancing on passed balls, but players kept running. After a runner advanced from 2B to 3B on a delayed steal, the coach tells me she's going to leave early.
I am ready for it, but the runner never leaves the base when the pitch is thrown or the ball is in the circle. I didn't call her out. Coach was a little upset with me. Should we ever call the runners out in this situation even if they don't violate? Is there any rule support for an offensive coach to just "take an out" in any code?
