I didn't spin ****. I cited and addressed your comments, not the OP.

But the OP pertains to a batted ball hitting the ground. There is no "batter's box" protection in either of the examples in the OP if any part of the batter touches the ball while the ball is in fair territory.

And this is the drivil to which I am referring. If the ball hits the ground and than the batter prior to leaving the batter's box, BY RULE, it is declared a foul ball. Any other ruling is just plain wrong.
BTW, #1 is an out call. BR contacted the batted ball outside of the batter's box.
#2 does not provide enough specific information. A batter's foot can be in fair territory and the batter's box at the same time and, by rule, that makes a difference in the call.
