Blu - some other set of people (the esteemed rulemakers) have already determined what they consider to be advantage/disadvantage. We don't have to do that. If we do, we end up with different rules being called at different times by different umps. One thing that irks coaches (and fans, players) the most is inconsistency in umpiring. You are fostering it with that comment on pitching rules.
