The aforementioned unfortunately is what often happens on the internet.
We are NOT talking about WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. I was responding to what ACTUALLY happened.
In the OP the PU emphatically said no he didn't go. Brought back the BR after the BR was on first base SAFELY.
A good amount of time passed and NOW the PU goes for help. IT'S TOO LATE.
I will stand by my decision in this.
1. Either the BU mirrors the call AT THIS POINT DEALING WITH THIS OP.
or
2. the PU refuses to ask since he was so emphatic to begin with.
in Summary: We are NOT talking about what should have been done etc. but dealing with the FACTS as presented.

Under NCAA and OBR (I don't work NFHS so Bob will have to chime in on that), by rule, if he's asked by the defense, the PU is obligated to go for help. In the OP, Pete, because the voluntary strike wasn't utilized, I actually agree with your first sentence: the BU should have just stuck with the PU's original call--no swing--regardless of what he actually thought. That would have prevented the whole mess.
