While I agree with your distinction of when you would tech him and when you wouldn't, I think Mark's point is valid as well...if in the first example you are saying that upon the slapping the ball is at the throwers disposal (which I agree with) and you are starting the count, how can the same action (slap) be considered delaying making the ball live just b/c the slap sends the ball into the stands? In reality you are teching him for unsporting conduct in your second example aren't you?
