"I think it's more like lazy move runner."
Yes, it really had nothing to do with overrunning the bag; it was just low-level ineptitude. Actually, I saw Jim Bouton do the same thing in the majors. He reached on some kind of hit or error and loped around 1B and didn't even realize he was out when they tagged him. The ump realized it though. I guess Bouton didn't have a lot of experience with baserunning.

Look at it this way. If the ball gets by F6, that lazy runner will be more than happy to stroll into 2B. And if they throw that runner out would you return the runner to 1B because s/he wasn't "attempting" to advance?
