No, a force play is the first out. For example, lets say you got a guy on first and one out. The hitter hits a ground ball to 3rd and he throws out the runner at 2nd but doesn't get the guy out at 1st. The runner at 1st was forced out. You can't assume the 2nd out. You can only assume the 1st out.

I edited my 1st reply to you.

I think our discrepency is that I believe that a runner not tagging up is considered a force play while you are saying that it is not.

I could have sworn that I am correct here, I am looking at the rules on MLB.com but they are useless... can anyone point me to a rulebook where it says that a player failing to tag is not a force out?
