[QUOTE=Steve M]MN,
That is correct. Fed is far more lenient, in this case than ASA.
In ASA, I can get 3 outs on 2 pitches. I can't do that in Fed.

Been there done that. The first week of the season the rule was in place I had that exact situation.
1st Pitch - B1 singles to right.
2nd Pitch - B4 hits into double play
Before the 3rd Pitch - Defense protest B2 failing to bat.
I have absolutely no problem with keeping the outs. It is not like the umpire manufactured them, the offense did. I do not understand why the Fed is letting the team who screwed up off the hook. Too much "little ball" mentality still hanging around, me thinkith!
Oh, that's right, it's the Fed.
