ASA 8-2-M-8 question
 
As runner heads back to 1st base, is F3 allowed to use the orange ? on the pick off attempt. If it matters...throw is coming from F4

A runner may always use any part of the double base.

A batter-runner must always used the colored portion unless special circumstances covered in the rules allows both teams to use either portion of the base.

What do you mean "use the orange part of the base".
You said a pick off play - that's a tag (the runner) play.
If you are refering to R1 returning to the base on a caught fly ball,
BR has passed the base, there is no orange or white (for all practical purposes), it is all one base.

Yes.

A pickoff play from F4?? Doesn't make sense.

A live ball appeal on a caught batted ball?

Pickoffs can only originate w/ F2 following a pitch, yes?

If there is a play being made.

Although the OP might be a fly ball appeal,

a "pickoff" can come from anyone, possible relay from F2 to F1 or to F4.

Good point. See this a lot when runners on 1st & 3rd and defense is defending the double-steal/rundown situation.

None of it is relevant. If you are referring to a runner the answer is "yes" no matter what the play or from where the ball comes, the answer is yes.
