8:7:S is referring to the runner leaving the base early on a pitch, such as in a steal situation. The runner cannot leave until the ball, in the judgement of the umpire, leaves the pitcher's hand.

8:7:T:2 is one of the criteria of the LBR. In other words, if the pitcher has the ball inside the 8 ft circle and the runner stops at the base, they must stay on that base. If they decide, after stopping and while the ball is in the circle, to try for second, they will be called out.
