Time Play Teachable of Third Out in Oakland as Fielder Chapman Retires Oversliding Austin Barnes

Los Angeles scored a gift run vs Oakland thanks to an inning-ending fielder's choice time play when A's third baseman Matt Chapman opted to tag Dodgers runner Austin Barnes rather than make a play on the batter-runner. Article: https://www.closecallsports.com/2021/04/time-play-teachable-fielders-choice-in.html This brief review covers Official Baseball Rule 5.08(a) regarding when a run scores. Succinctly, we discover that HP Umpire Dan Bellino properly recognized and ruled that LA baserunner R3 Max Muncy's run shall count, as Muncy touched home plate before Chapman tagged R2 Barnes. Had Chapman instead thrown out batter-runner Zach McKinstry at first base, Muncy's run would have not counted, as no run shall score during a play in which the third out is made by the batter-runner before the BR touches first base.
