Force out

[Guest Ivan Nichols]

Scenario is bases loaded and 1 out. Batter hits a grounder and the runner from 1st to 2nd gets out at 2nd, is the runner from 2nd to 3rd, still a forced out.

No. what else? ^^

When ever any trail runner is put out, the lead runners are no longer forced to go any where...

With a runner on first and a grounder hit to F3, when he steps on first and then throws to second, the defense always yells "tag him" because the force on R1 is no longer in effect.

C'mon, man: in the OP R1 is out at 2B! Pay attention!

You can get to the right answer by recognizing that R2 could (legally) return to second.  So, he's not forced from second any more.

Probably still feeling the effects of getting his ZRO-G bent in half (which he has not posted a photo here. But did on FB)

So if I was on 2nd and a runner on 1st, I could basically stay on 2nd and hedge my bet on the the first base runner getting out on second, and then prevent myself from getting out at 3rd due to a double play. At least from this interpretation, your saying a force isn't that I have to run to the next base, but the runner behind me doesn't get out going to base.

By doing this, you are running the risk of being tagged by the defense prior to the defense stepping on 2nd base. In which case, you are out on the force out and so is the runner on 1st coming to 2nd. A double play.

And if the defense is thinking (and skilled) fire to first for a potential triple play.

(You may want to go to the opposite end of the dugout from your manager in that case.)

Maybe not even head back to the dugout.
