Sorry if i am being dumb, what causes an Ump to call LBR?
- If you call LBR someone is out - any other runner would return to previously legally touched base.
- Yes, the moment the pitcher looks to make a play in any way, LBR is off and base runners are free to do what they like...
- There is no speed requirement, just a direction. So as long as they remain in motion - no matter what speed - then THAT runner is OK.
Assuming 'no play', you call a LBR on NO MOVEMENT (i.e. they stopped and didn't make in the umpire's judgment an immediate change of direction) or if they make any SECOND CHANGE OF DIRECTION
