Define Jeopardy
ASA Rule 10, Section 6 C states, “The plate umpire may rectify any situation in which the reversal of an umpire’s decision or a delayed call by an umpire places a batter-runner, a runner or defensive team in jeopardy. (This correction is not possible after one legal or illegal pitch has been thrown, or after the pitcher and all infielders have clearly vacated their normal fielding positions and have left fair territory on their way to the bench or dugout area, or after the last play of the game, the umpires have left the field of play.)
How do you define "jeopardy"? Every ruling by an umpire helps either the offense or the defense. So, "jeopardy" must mean something else.
Can you provide several plays and interps that give valid application of 10.6.C?
