Again both runners have to be on the base when tagged for one to be out. But Tejada runs past Murphy making him automatically out with Murphy safely standing on third. That should be correct

Doesn't the runner at 3rd have the right to the bag if they're both there. How could this not be reviewable?

 

They can both stand on the bag as long as they'd like. It's only an out when one is tagged while both are on the base. Murphy was never tagged while Tejada was on the bag. By the time he was tagged he was technically the only baserunner since Tejada is automatically out when (reverse) passing Murphy

I predict no runs and miserable shame and failure.

 

Or maybe they'll score runs. Who knows.

Yeah, you're right. The Mets' broadcast got me excited because they thought they were both out. Tejeda was the passer and Murphy stayed on the base. Correct call.
