Jim ... the mere fact that Mike posted the question in the first place almost ensures us that the rule is not clear on the issue.
I believe that EITHER interpretation can be supported by the rules. To insist otherwise is either blind or obtuse. The question here is - what is RIGHT.
Since the majority of the posters who believe this should be an out admit that they would squirrel their view so that they didn't "see" the miss leads me to infer that those umpires know what is "Right" and are only arguing the other side for debate's sake.
