crazy play

Then, wait for the appeal; if none, move on with two runs scoring.

Would you tel the official scorer? Would you wait until a pitch had been thrown to tell the official scorer?

I think you would have to tell the scorer or there would be a mess later on. However, if you tell him before a pitch is thrown, you put the runner in jeopardy if someone who has half a brain hears you. I hope this play never happens to me.

Tell the scorer what? Already called the runner safe and will probably offer the number of outs prior to the next pitch.

In a sitch like this, the defense may not know the run has score until you tell them the # of outs. It is even money the scorer will be clueless, as well.

Then Mama Gump was right, Stupid is as Stupid Does. Sorry, but that is not going to be my issue and if they don't figure out what is going on......

....Then you will be holding a bag of crap later on unless you know how many runs scored in that inning and make note of it.

No, I will not.

When everyone thinks that the game is tied in the bottom of the 7th but it is actually over, how would anyone(including you) know?

Why would you not want to alert the official scorer? You do so on a timing play.

This play is weird enough that it warrants some action on the part of the umpire.

I look for the clean end of the stick, not the poop covered one. In this case, you will be holding the poop covered stick and denying that it stinks.
