How can you equate the pitcher to someone holding away from the play in football. Nothing happens until the pitcher releases the ball. All eyes are on him at the beginning of the play. The rules say hand behind back or at side. How can you then say it is o.k. to swing the arm in front of the body. That is a direct and open violation of the rules that you are paid to enforce. You can not pick and choose which rules you will enforce. Do you call a ball fair if it was just a little bit foul?
