Ohhhhhhhh

Sorry, I didn't notice the "Situation 16" liner.

Yep, typical FED wording. In this case when FED says sideways, they mean towards third or first, which in reality is forward or backward for the pitcher.

"Backward"in reference to a pitcher in FED ALWAYS means towards second, no matter the position of the pitcher.

Any clearer yet? Imagine if they had FED in Australia and we had to read Warren's Aussie English explaining FED's English.....man, I just got a headache.

Any way, Balk! Improper disengagement. Repeat the down, ten yards from point of infraction. Or something like that.
