Yes, the play is covered under PBUC 1.13 Checked Swings, and the J/R says the BU should make the call on the checked swing. Now if everyone spent the couple of bucks to get some of these fine books, we would all be better off, or would we?!?
So, your partner didn't read the material (and most do not) so what now? The best medicine is to go with the PBUC's version. It "keeps the PU in control" and forces the defense to do their jobs (make an appeal). I understand that MLB is doing it according to the J/R but MLB also works 4 man crews on a regular basis. MLB and the WUA also discuss a lot of these "changes" so everyone is aware of them. Imagine the house of defecation that would ensue in a babe Ruth game if the BU came up with that call without being asked!
