No doubt there will be suggested rule changes that come of both situations. As for the GRD ... there should be some consistency with the 2 base rule. A runner gets 2 bases from the last base AT THE TIME OF THROW when a ball is thrown OB. IMO this should be the same - 2 bases from the last fielder contact. The run would have scored - not sure the batter would get third. Intent of the fielder should not be part of the equaition. As for Grendal - I would think there would be some consideration to the 45 ft lane would apply to all plays and not just on plays to first. The basebath argument (6 ft wide) only applies if there is a play made on that runner. If no play then the runner makes the base path.
