MrUmpire, my apologies, based on ODJ's post I now see what you mean. ODJ, I'm confused. If the pitcher has come set he wouldn't have his his hand at his side. If your saying the pitcher is in the preliminary stage of pitching from the set position then he would have his hand at his side and FED now says that a glove motion or hat adjustment need not be balked. From what I've seen on MLB and attending minor league games, a lot of preliminary twitches, shoulder rolls, and sleeve clearing are definitely ignored. BTW anybody take note in ALCS game seven last night of one pitcher's nice big turn and look at 1B while coming set?
