BTW, if I'm R1 and the B takes a full cut while I'm attempting to steal home, that SOB better keep running straight to the parking lot beyond 1B, 'cause if I catch'em, I'm going to hurt them!

OK Mike, good save, you saw the error of your original ruling realizing you were disadvantaging the offense if you maintained your position..
Now we'll see if ed and wmb will backtrack as well.. as a matter of fact you two can feel free to use the "theres a difference between leaving on the pitch and stealing" line to save face if you need to, but both of you should realize as mike has that you were interpretting it wrong originally... and I wouldnt suggest WMB that you submit anything to a rule committe yet until you understand the rule.
HAHAHAH
That was good one mike. Ya gave me a laugh over morning cofffee. You are unique to say the least.

I backed up on nothing. It seems you are insisting on interjecting a preconceived manner in which to handle this.
If you don't like the rule, attempt to have it changed.
