Simply state the batter is out to the OC
After awarding R1 her base, I hope!

I was excited that I could get in on a discussion that I forgot about R1, of coarse she would get her dead ball award. I was all excited about the BR. It is going to take a while but I am not giving up.

It is not overofficious to award R1 a base when the ball goes out of play, depriving said runner of the ability to advance when the ball is thrown away.

Mike,

My statement was made out of excitement. I was referring to the BR running on D3K, with R1 on 1B, I simply forgot to continue the play and award the DB award. This is what I am talking about (ATTACK)

Fair enough.

Asking you what your point was was not intended in the least to be an attack - really really really surprised you thought it was.

Look - I think you and I need to start over. Clean slate. Work for you?
