1. Manny did this last year. went to grab his helmet which fell off during his slide.... grrr he was called out.
2. what everyone else has said. run scores as an unearned run.
3. I think this is an out. if he didn't start his windup, then he doesnt' have to step off the back of the rubber to avoid a balk. I think.
4. I'm not really sure on this. I'd give them one bag as if the ball went into the dugout or something.
5. i assume the umpire sort of decides the speed of these things. if he is in position and time hasn't been called than the pitch counts.
6. i agree that it's a question of the infield fly rule. If that isn't called, then it's a double play.
