I find myself in agreement with Tim and etn_ump.
If the pitcher throws a pitch in the batter's box, the batter is getting ALL the "benefit of the doubt".
As JJ suggests, it's at least theoretically possible that a batter could do something that would "keep him in the box" - but that would be the exception rather than the rule.
