Referee play

[IRISHMAFIA]

FP only. R1 on 3B leads off after a pitch to B2. The pitcher, after receiving throw back from catcher, legally plays back R1 to 3B. While ball is alive, F5, pitcher and catcher meet nearest pitcher's plate to consult. R1, seeing home plate unprotected, leaves 3B and crosses home plate, scoring.

RULING: Time out should be called by the umpire. Place R1 back on 3B. (10-1J[2])

that is a poor example to use. Not only does it not emphasize a sitch where the non-usual ump calls time;

Doesn't need to. There rule referenced specifically addresses when all umpires have the authority to suspend play.

it confuses a different rule, LBR.

That's part of the point, the play is showing that the LBR is not applicable.

Why isn't the case cited ("While ball is alive, F5, pitcher and catcher meet nearest pitcher's plate") a LBR violation,

Because it was included to reference Rule 10, not Rule 8 and, as previously stated, the LBR doesn't apply.

assuming the pitcher has the ball and not F5 or F2?

The pitcher, after receiving throw back from catcher

And I'd like to point out to Steve (and anyone else who would get it), the wording is "old regime" since apparently the ball in the case play is living and breathing.
