Hey CD,
That's why we're paid the BIG BUCKS, to make the tough calls. The rules are there for a reason, and we are honor bound to enforce them to the best of our abilitie. By not "seeing" the infraction, you are basically cheating the defense and you are probably going to catch a "ton of poo" from them because they saw the batter step out of the box too. Now wouldn't you sleep better covered in poo for the right reason rather than the worng reason? I know I would.
Good call Blue,
and welcome to the board.
