Thanks guys. I did look at the rule book but as I so often do, forget that if I'm looking for a rule, I need to read the whole section and not just the part I think would apply. I only looked at this section of 8.01:
"Preparatory to coming to a set position, the pitcher shall have one hand on his side; from this position he shall go to his set position as defined in Rule 8.01 (b) without interruption and in one continuous motion. "
But just as you said, just a few sentences above, it says the pitcher shall come to the set position before delivering the ball to the batter. Nowhere does it say he has to come set before playing on a runner.
That's one of my faults is not reading quite thoroughly enough. Need to work on that. Thanks for the replies.
