Ooo - that's a great question, Dakota.

Mike R - if there's a live ball appeal in effect (i.e. runner misses the base), and fielder tags the runner without necessarily indicating she's making an appeal - do we assume she is?

3 examples (assume for all three that F3 merely tags runner without saying anything or otherwise indicating she's appealing the missed bag) -

1) runner overruns first, continues straight, and is walking back to first base in foul ground when she's tagged.

2) runner overruns first, thinks the ball got away and makes a half-step toward second, realizes the ball is in F3's glove, and walks back to first base when she's tagged (assume, in this case, that had there been no live-ball appeal in effect, her movement to 2nd was enough that you'd be calling her out when tagged anyway)

3) runner overruns first, makes the half-step toward second, and tries to dive back to first base under the tag, and is tagged.

Do you treat these three situations the same, or differently?
