Back to the topic, Steve nails it on the head. Even though the ASA/USA manual literally says kill it after action is completed on THE PITCH or the resulting BATTED BALL, it ignores the possibility of a live ball play following the pitch. IMO, based on the POE covering delayed dead balls, a throw on a stealing runner from F2 is a continuation of the play, if you're willing to accept the notion that a pitch is a play. Do not kill the ball until all play on the live pitch is stopped, and only then enforce the DDB and any penalties.
