“just put them on 3rd base.”
You’re playing the Kansas City Royals, the game is tied, and the rule discussed in the article is operative. The Royals get a man on second as described - however that’s determined, it doesn’t matter - they put in Jarrod Dyson as a pinch runner. Dyson was 8 for 8 in stealing third last year, and 10 for 10 stealing third the year before.
So, in all likelihood:
There’s a man on third with nobody out.
I think they just traded Dyson.
