If the ball doesnt BEAT the runner... the runner is safe.. It really IS that simple....

If the ball beats the BR to the base the BR is out (assuming a clean catch and the foot on the bag, etc.).

Now if the BR beats the ball or they arrive simultaneously, then the ball didn't beat the BR and the BR is safe. So ties do go to the runner because the ball didn't arrive first.

This is what Mike is saying.

Yeah, but what fans mean by "tie goes to the runner" is "close plays go to the runner"!

Well, if they are ruled out, I guess it wasn't a tie, was it?

If they were ruled out it wasn't a tie because it wasn't close!
