Steve -
I knew it would be hard to visualize. Other than Paul Byrd of the Indians no one does a traditional "windup" anymore, with the first step of the free foot going back behind the rubber and a big two-hand pump of the arms over the head. Most pitchers (picture Mussina here) from the windup simply step to the left then stride forward in delivery. But I'm seeing set pitchers take that same step to the left then lift the non-pivot foot in a delivery.
As to the first part, I have seen decent right handed pitchers step and fake to third then wheel and step to first without disengaging. I might be reading 8.05 comment wrong or, God forbid, I'm journying into OOO land which I hope I'm not.
