What a way to get out of a jam. I can't blame the baserunners at all because before they showed the replay I thought the ball was caught too.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

Trying to remember my fundamental baseball rules. The first out in that place was the force at 3rd (runner going from 2nd to 3rd) which I believe took place while the runner at 3rd was on 3rd and then the tag was applied when the runner at 3rd stepped off the bag. However, if the sequence was changed a little.....first out was the force at 3rd, but the runner at 3rd is a step off the bag at the time of the force and he then gets his foot on the bag prior to the tag being placed on him.....is the runner at 3rd then safe? In other words, if the force is applied behind you, do you no longer need to advance to the next base?

If you don't want him to flip a bat, don't give up a homerun.

Yep, TT, preaching to the choir.

Yes, the runner who began on third base would be safe in the scenario you describe, as he is no longer forced to go home once the runner who began on second was out.

Correct.  If the runner behind you has been eliminated you no longer need to advance, therefore, no force out a tag must be applied.

Agreed!  Did you see the ump catch the bat flip yesterday?

It was cool, but not as cool as the triple play.  The runners were all caught in no man's land,  not sure if the ball had been caught on the fly or not.

Buster Olney tweeted that hitting a batter with a pitch because he's doing well against you is like a batter charging the mount and bashing the pitcher with his bat because the pitcher had a no-hitter going.

That's a pretty good analogy IMHO.

I really believe there is nothing more chickenshyte than hitting a guy who is playing well against you. Suspensions should be swift and harsh.

Haha.  Seems like a decent analogy to me.  Even more funny when you consider how crazy pitchers get when a guy bunts during a potential no no.
