Two Toronto Runners Meet at 3B, Both Tagged - Who is Out? Also, Schneider Forgets Mound Visit Count

Two Blue Jays baserunners—preceding runner R3 Brandon Belt and following runner R2 Matt Chapman—both stood on third base during a rundown, leading Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman to tag them both with 3B Umpire Adam Beck ruling R3 Belt out. Article: https://www.closecallsports.com/2023/05/two-torontonians-tagged-on-third-base.html

We dive into Official Baseball Rule 5.06(a)(2) regarding two runners-one-base scenarios to determine whether the umpires got this right (they umpires met after the play and swapped Belt's out for Chapman, determining that trailing runner Chapman was out and Belt was safe at third).

Also, Blue Jays manager John Schneider appeared to forget how many trips to the mound Toronto's coaching staff had made during Alek Manoah's 6th inning appearance, resulting in HP Umpire Dan Iassogna instructing Schneider to take Manoah out of the game, with Toronto pitching coach Pete Walker having already visited Manoah once earlier in the 6th.

To cover all bases, that rule is OBR 5.10(l)(2): "A second trip to the same pitcher in the same inning will cause this pitcher's automatic removal from the game."
