Woodchuck,
Not Mike, but my thoughts on this:
Is there an implied timeout when you still have a runner off base at second
and the ball is not in the circle for the look back rule to be infect.
________________________________________
No, the runner must be allowed to do whatever it is she has set in her mind.
Usually F2 is still holding the ball when asking for an appeal on a check
swing. However, IMHO, if the runner is standing on base and I have been
asked to check with my partner, then when I remove my mask and go to him/her,
I have time. Since I will move forward a few feet, mask in hand, I am
having a discussion with a partner. No play would be allowed.
