I disagree, as you can see from my post above. The players are assuming a defensive posture for either a bunt or a weak hitter. It is not unsportsmanlike, even if the other coach is only doing it to rattle the batters. It is no more obstruction or USC than bat-waggling is interference. [/B][/QUOTE]
Defensive posture? Based on the original scenario, it was clearly an act to distract the batter, how is that considered a normal defensive posture especially if it is done on every batter as described. It sure smells of an unsporting act.
Also, where does it say that an illegal pitch call is warranted?
