Catcher forgets number of outs

[BCCanuck]

Long time reader, first time writer. I 've received a lot of great advice here as well as some chuckles. John, there's a case in the SCA casebook where the catcher follows a runner into his dugout to tag him for missing home plate. SCA rules it unintentionally carrying the ball into dead ball territory. Rule 8-#183 in the casebook. Once again the advice offered by other posters is sound.., I just thought you'd like to know that the casebook reference confirms that SCA agrees with the other rulesets on this one.

The intent of the additional base for an intentional carry is to prevent deception by the fielder to stop a runner's progress. But the usual application of unintentional is a carry resulting from momentum or the above tagging a runner who is in DBT.
I agree with the above "rulings" as long as you are comfortable with the fielder's intent or lack of it.

Personally, I would make the rule such that a intentional carry to stop a runner is a live ball, with the runner protected for at least two bases.

How can you have a live ball when it is in the possession of a player in DBT?

Of course we can't. Just commenting on having a stronger penalty for such an action.

Thanks for the input. That's what I would have ruled.
