I disagree.  The play is only dead if the ump determines the ball was intentionally dropped.  In the case of that Giants play I don’t think it was and apparently the ump didn’t either.  The runners are allowed to advance at their own risk and any force plays are off.  I think that was called correctly.
you might be right but it goes against the rule posted above but the rules posted above may not be MLB rules

The Official Rules of Baseball (OBR) are what MLB uses.

And as for that clip from the Giants-Expos game, what the fielders should have done was throw back to 3rd and appeal the runner never tagging up.

the ball was not caught so no tag needed

The best part is Robinson scolding his players.

In my long years involved with youth sports, I’ve had the experience many others have had: parents are the weak link. But the growing, well documented abuse of officials has gone too far, and the repercussions are tangible: For example, New Jersey is having trouble finding soccer officials at all levels.

Deptford Little League has come up with a plan: You wanna berate the umps? Then you’re gonna ump yourself. As reported in the May 21, 2023 Philadelphia Inquirer, “Fed up with parents cursing umpires, two of whom quit in April, Deptford Little League president Don Bozzuffi made international news last month by instituting a novel punishment: Unruly parents will be banned from attending games unless they umpire three contests themselves.”

I love it.

Take these jerks out of the bleachers and hand them the umpire jersey.

I can’t think of a more thankless job than officiating.  You couldn’t pay me enough money to do it.  Love the idea of making unruly parents do it.
