Rich,
You pretty much anticipated what was "bothering me" - thanks for clarifying.
I think I'm beginning to see the light.
For Bob J.,
This is what JEA says:
Quote:
Customs and Usage: Umpires should be especially attentive when an intentional walk is being given, a batter is
bunting for a base hit, or a pitch-out is being thrown. These are the times a batter is most likely to step out of the
box to hit the ball.
