Nhfs - boo & ibb
No outs, R1 (who is B5) on 1B. B7 comes to the plate. F1 throws 1 pitch for a strike; R1 steals 2B safely. With an 0-1 count, defensive HC asks for Time and approaches the PU. DHC tells PU he wants to intentionally walk B7...and then he stands right next to the PU until B7 touches 1B. DHC immediately appeals that B7 is BOO, and wants R1 returned to 1B.
Ruling: B6 is out. B7 returns to the plate with no count, and R1 remains at 2B. Was this properly officiated?
Bonus Third World Play question: Does the coach's IBB request count as a pitch, legal or illegal for the purposes of a BOO appeal (or any appeal for that matter)? Edited to add: Say B7 reaches, and then DHC wants to IBB B8. No pitches have been thrown; can B7's BOO still be appealed? I say no.
