So they're treating it like the guy at 3rd stole home even though the play resulted in an out?

No the explanation in the second post. Blue Jays needed to appeal that he left early and they didn't so the run scores.

What are the odds that both base runners thought there were two outs??? You see that maybe once or twice a year and it happened twice on the same play????? 1 in billion?

What I don't understand is if it was a ground ball to SS and they turned a DP then the run wouldn't have scored even though he would have crossed home before the final out at 1B. Why does he score in this situation. Isn't the case that when you double a guy up after a fly ball is caught and you throw behind them to the base they were occupying its considered a force out???

When a player is doubled off on a fly out Its not technically a force out its considered a continuous action appeal play.

Yep that is the root of the ruling. Never knew that it only came to light because Both Runners had massive brain cramps on the same play. Astronomical odds.
