This thread is already heading in the direction I suspected it would go.
For Situation #1:
jumpmaster seems to indicate his ruling would depend on whether the stumbling pitcher actually released the ball.
DG says it's "nothing".
Tim C says it's a "ball" awarded to the batter.
For Situation #2:
jumpmaster says "ball"
DG says it's "nothing".
Tim C says "ball"
Interesting.
Would the following statement be accurate with regards to FED pitching regulations?
Anything the pitcher does that would result in a balk with the bases occupied; would result in a "ball" awarded to the batter if there are no runners on base.
