If the batter swung, why was she just standing there?
Because the PU said that she did not legally swing - he called it a BALL!
The BU did not put the batter in jeopardy; her swing and miss / failure to run did
The batter heard ball, she is standing there. Now the BU reverses the call to a strike. Why isn't that placing her in jeopardy?
This is one situation where I WILL NOT go to my partner. I will tell the catcher and/or coach that I made the call and will stick with it - for the obvious reason that the runner did not get a fair chance to advance to 1B.
