Fair warning, I know nothing of FED rule set, having said that, since it is a home run, are all runners including the BR not awarded home?  If so would that not make the MC EJ moot in terms of scoring? (obviously it won't be moot in terms of repercussions)

No the other runners are awarded home but the runner who committed the MC is out and not awaded home.

What the hey?!? I mentioned that yesterday, even down to the page #...that's my canned ham! But, I'll settle for Spam! :hi5:  So sorry, Big Red ... you did cite it first.  I recognize your post, but somehow missed it. Now guys, please don't pile on for this ... here is how my colleague called it.  He told the story to show his error and clarify the easiest part of the rule. He let R2 score under the already dead ball, he called the MC on the BR, but he claimed he didn't have an out on the BR. The inning resumed with two outs, the 3rd out was made, and only then did extras begin.

what??? R2 scored (ok. Good there). BR called...nothing... for malicious contact? Go back to the dugout. You're not out, but you don't score? :HS

I don't understand

Jocko ... it didn't make sense.  It was like he introduced the Little League "Poof" rule ...

He acknowledged his error before he told the story.

Now what's difference between ejecting a player for MC after he scores but not out. He was safe crossed the plate then did the MC. No out there and this case where you have a HR then an ejection for MC with no play for an out. Hope the question makes sense. The two seem similar. R2 scores, BR is ejected but not out.

Because there are only three ways a runner can cease to be a runner, and only one can occur: a run, a putout, or left on base. Each runner will have one, and exactly one, of these conclusions to his time on base.

And more simply, the FED rule says you call out any runner who initiates MC unless he has already scored.  (Actually it uses the word player)

Not as bad as if the tying run didn't score and you went from walk off win to loser

wrong... This would be preferable than a tying ru. You're thinking like a player/coach/fan. Umps want a win or a loss in regularly scheduled innings. Extras cost us $.

What the double hey?   :)   I mentioned the rule on post 2, someone mentions the case-play later and I lose my ham?  Day-old ham by then, enjoy  =)

 

And Jocko is spot on.  Ties are un-cool for us.  Amarillo owes a  :givebeer:

 It uses the term "player" because MC can be by a defensive player, also. I have actually seen an infielder ejected for MC for applying a punch-tag to a runner's head. It happened in a HS playoff game.
