Thanks. So when he is scrambling back and the fielder does not mention a missed base we will have to assume that the defense is making a play and not an appeal---is that correct? Suppose the runner is well past second and, realizing he missed the base now comes scrambling back?.. Is the fielder now making an obvious appeal if he tags the runner?
lastly---if the runner was tagged out on the time play for the third out could the defense then make an appeal for the missed base as an apparent 4th out?
