To respond to debeau:
I'm not a coach at this game (I do rec league).
I am, however, the game announcer and the press table is directly behind home plate (my normal view, unfortunately, is the PU's derriere).
I absolutely saw everything required to make the assertion that she was waaaaaaaay out of the catcher's box.
I think the following is to what debeau was responding:

I was more concerned about the no call from the BUs than if the catcher was really out of the box.

There is no way anyone other than the PU makes this call.

On another view, did the catcher step out of the box prior to the pitcher's initial motion? If so, I believe it may have been "no pitch", not an IP.
