Correct Interpretation

Quote:
But in this situation — tie game, no pitch having been thrown, it hadn’t happened before — why not issue a warning? Tell Burton to knock it off, tell Hare if it happens again a base will be awarded.

Sometimes common sense is the best rule.
What do I do if it happens again?

Well, a do over isn't called for here.
How about time?
Quote:
Mays never delivered a pitch, but the home plate umpire called obstruction on Burton and awarded Lewis first base.
That's a balk.
