Live Ball Ejection

[Concernedcitizen2]

I can't think of the actual examples, but I know I've seen this type of play happen and I'm wondering what the ruling would be on this type of play.  So here's a made up example:

 

0 Outs, R3.  Grounder to short, R3 tries to score, shortstop throws home, umpire says safe and the catcher starts to argue BR takes off for second, catcher is ejected while BR is halfway between 1st and 2nd, can the catcher then throw the ball to second? Or is the fact that he is ejected disqualify him from play immediately and another fielder would have to go over to home plate and get the ball?

EJs don't take effect till the play is completed. But preventive umpiring would be waiting for the play to end before ejecting anyone.

You can have MC during playing action that results in an EJ. As @BRUMP says, EJ's are enforced at the end of playing action. OBR 9.01(d)

Thanks guys, that clears things up a bit, so in the following case (Greinke ejection) if the runner had taken off for second right after the point of ejection, would Greinke be eligible to participate or does the ejection also imply time is out?  Looks like the first base umpire never signals for time.

ejection does NOT imply time is out but there is clearly a rhythm and some understanding at the MLB level that usually does not always apply at the youth levels.

No such thing as an implied time out. The ball is dead by rule (HR, HBP, foul ball touches the ground, etc.), or an umpire calls time. OBR 5.02
