no excuse to not know the simple rules.

If you have played ball at all especially in the infield you would have had dozens and dozens of tag up plays.  In HS when you have 1-2 umps knowing the rules is important.

Not only that, because Lindor didnt know the rule not only did the tag up rule not happen,  He also didn't even tag the runner which isn't even a rule.  You always complete the play. even if he left early, you don't know if the replay or ump will see it.   The tag up can be appealed in real time, after the play, and on the dead ball. But tagging the runner you always do when you get a chance.

Any player in any sport who doesn't know the rule book pretty well isn't doing their job.  If you golf you bettter know most of the rules since most of the time there is no referee,

I am amazed how many coaches don't know the rules.  There are so many bench guys in MLB and you get limited challenges. What if that was with 2 outs in the 9th of the WS and lost your challenge cause you screwed up that play,

But even more.   change the play and add a runner on 3rd who scores on that.   tagging the runner out could negate the run. appealing the tag up does not.
