Billy takes a strike when the defensive manager now brings this to the attention of the home plate umpire.

Have fun with this one!
No one noticed when the umpire gave the count after the visit? The batter (Billy) didn't question it when the umpire rang him up on "strike one"? The umpire didn't notice it after noting who was the batter during the visit?

Anyway, I agree with MIB's answer.
