No, not if the runner physically passed the base.
Think of it this way, if the runner rounded 2B without touching it and was tagged out, would it then be a force then?

But she over slides the base (failing to touch the bag at all and is tagged out before getting back to the bag. I said that this a force for the third out and no run would be scored. Some of the posters when stating that this would not be a force, I did not say that. |

The runner has missed second. Is the tag of her an appeal of a missed base or a play on a runner who has missed the bag. Rita |

Is the tag of the runner an appeal (which can't be accidental at first why should it be at second?) or a play on a runner who is assumed to have touched second? If it is a play on the runner, then it is a timing play and the run scores. If it is an appeal of a missed base, then the run will not score. Rita |

When a runner passes a base, the runner is considered to have touched that base. This also applies to awarded bases. I know it has been said by others but I will reiterate.....If the runner slid past 2nd....they are considered to have touched the base. Joel |

1. The runner is assumed to have touched second base when she passed it, removing the force 2. The tag of the runner attempting to return to second base is not considered an appeal 3. There is no opportunity to subsequently appeal her miss of second base for an advantageous fourth out Now, consider a similar play, except that the play is on the BR at first. On the play, F6's throw to first is offline, and the BR avoids F3's tag attempt after F3 catches the errant throw. While she avoids the tag, the BR fails to touch first base while passing it. The BR is unable to return to the bag before F3 tags her. R1 at third touches home well before the tag of the BR. If I understand RS#1 in the ASA book, the tag of the BR missing first is considered an appeal, and the run would not score, correct? If that's the case, why the inconsistency between similar plays?

At first, the runner is NOT in jeopardy of a normal tag for overrunning the base, so the tag of that player IS obviously an appeal of the miss.

In order to honor an appeal, I better get some indication from the defense that is is an appeal and what they are appealing. There are other reasons that the defensive player could be making that tag, pehaps the defense feels that the runner made an attempt to second base. On this play, somebody on defense better give me some indication that they saw the runner miss first base and that is why they are making a tag.

If the tag is made (at 2B) before the run scores, and then, seconds later, F6 (who made the tag) states to me something to the effect that "you did see her completely miss the base, right?"... should that be upheld as an appeal?
Meaning, the statement is made after the run scores... Last edited by jmkupka; Mon Oct 22, 2012 at 11:31am. |

But in that case, would it be a fourth out or a third out.
