Appropos of my hang up at the start of the thread, this was not a triple play on appeal because the ball was still live and these were regular force outs. It's just your regular 7-2-9 triple play.

Well, if scoring, you might note that it was "your regular 7-2-9 triple play.

But each and every out was the result of a live ball appeal. I don't call that a "regular" force out.

Irish probably doesn't care because he doesn't do scoring.

So in the score book an out on a runner who left early from third base on a fly ball and was appealed by a player without the ball. Umpire would call time out (assuming play has stopped) and then make a ruling on the runner leaving early. What's the scoring? 5U?

No, that's my point, these were not appeal plays. Irish tagged third base with a live ball before the runner from 2nd reached 3rd base. That's a regular force out. The one at 2nd was also a regular force out. The one at first would be if the definition of force out weren't screwy.
