bases loaded walk

I give the R3 a lot of credit for being aware enoughto send him to touch. As an umpire give him an opportunity to go to first, if he joins the celebration and the defense appeals then it's an out.

No appeal required in this scenario. Either R3 and BR touch or they don't and are called out for abandonment. Clearly stated for this type of scenario in MLBUM.

Mr Umpire,
I don't recall seeing that in the MLBUM. What section is it in?

What edition of the MLBUM are you using Mr Umpire?

I don't see that covered as abandonment.

when I told the story to others today, some parents had been in a tourney in michigan, their team had been called for interference when the batter receiving the walk high fived the incoming runner. Lost the game as it was the tying run and last out.

everytime I hear of this type of stuff, it makes me cringe............

That a group of umpires that doesn't have a clue. As PIAA says it makes you cringe and makes a well trained umpire angry.

Maybe I read the OP wrong but I read it as a question of "Is there a situation where the run would not have counted?"

Not, about the part of tagging the runner before crossing HP, I was not referring to that at all. On a bases loaded walk, that isn't a possibility I know.

If bases loaded, 2 outs. Batter gets walked. He and R3 have to touch their next base. If either one never touches their next base, then that runner is out for abandonment and no run counts.

That is how I read the OP question. I didn't see it as calling any INT or "delay of game". I read it as R3 and/or BR do not touch the next base. Now, I wish I had the MLBUM to quote what I was referring to. I am pretty sure I read it that way but will definitely verify b/c I may be thinking about something else. It may be about a "walk off" HR I am referring to. Not sure at this point but it is under abandonment.

That's the issue. OBR, in rule context, reserves the word "abandonment" for behavior after reaching first. 7.08 (a)(2)

The situation in the OP is covered exactly by 6.08 (a)comment.

4.09(b) is what I was referring to directly for the OP. Again, I may have misread the OP. But, no call to be made for an out in the OP just b/c the batter didn't go to 1B immediately. As long as he does go touch it, run scores.

Okay....I guess I got distracted by: "Either R3 and BR touch or they don't and are called out for abandonment. Clearly stated for this type of scenario in MLBUM."

On a bases loaded walk, only the BR and R3 have to touch. A bases loaded single all runners have to touch.
