Why is little Jimmy playing?

The Ump must have been right! He hasn't responded back yet

^ Seems they refer to it as a throw out, not a force out!?

That, was kind of important to the situation, don't ya think I see now you were following up with your first question.

If there is no appeal, both runs score. If appealed and upheld, 1 run scores. If 2 outs, no runs score.

Yes, R2 is out the moment he passed R3. Yes, R3 is out for abandonment. R3 is also traded

No run scores in any situation when the BR is thrown out before reaching 1st base for the 3rd out. <Not a force out! No different than a 6-4-3 DP

No. You should acknowledge the coaches appeal and over-rule your partner who obviously missed it, based on your opinion

Yes. No. Well, they can appeal, doesn't mean it would be upheld.

A pitcher is required to THROW to 1B while in contact with the rubber. Feinting to third does not! If a quick feint to 3B followed by a feint to 1B while still contacting the rubber, it would be a balk.

Foul ball seems to justify the umps decision, not saying it was!

"FOUL BALL"!

Thanks for the clarification @spark2212. But, there is no sign (signal) for obstruction. I was thinking of the old DDB signal.

I read it the same way. A pitch is a ball delivered to a batter. How is it a pitch if there is no batter? Do warm up pitches count in LL? I'm confused here. In your sitch, you say the pitch was illegal, thus no pitch. Then state, "If time was called, sucks he stays there and its a ball". Did the OP mention what was called?

Yes. 8.4.2 SITUATION L: With two outs, R2 on second base and R1 on first base, B5 singles. B5 passes R1 between first and second base (a) just before R2 touches the plate or (b) just after R2 touches the plate. RULING: In (a), the run does not count, while in (b), it does count. A runner is called out at the moment he passes a preceding runner, but the ball remains live. Acts such as attempts of a runner to profit by running too far from the baseline to avoid a tag, or outside the three-foot lane while advancing to first, or running the bases in reverse, or other-wise making a travesty of the game may not be appealed. The umpire calls the runner out without waiting for the defensive player to call attention to the act." That change and removal of 9.1.1M, confirms that FED is now with the other codes in making this a time play.
