I agree with all of you, but am still a bit of a devil's advocate when it comes to the wording of the rules. If the coach showed me the section of the ASA book that I outlined above, it would be difficult to argue (s/he could care less what I read on a discussion board). Here's my concerns:
a) In 8.7.J, item 3 my first post, the word "intentionally" is used in reference to a thrown ball. In items 1 and 2, the word "intentionally" is not used, which, right or wrong, leads to the belief that intention is not needed.
b) In OBR under the same section, it specifically mentions
that if the runner is on base when a crash of this type occurs, he will not be called out. However, no such exception is mentioned in ASA.
Just trying to anticipate what may come up (and probably being over-paranoid).
