Okay, I'm disappointed in the two you.

What I've read so far:

A poster wrote that a pitcher, from the set, can pitch, step off, throw to a base or feint.

Ump 153 posted what appears in the rule book, that being pitch, step off or throw to a base.

mbyron posted that the pitcher can also feint.

Ump 153 replied. basically, that feint is not included in the "common" phrase as it is not a universal rule.

Now it gets a bit pissy:

mbyron, while agreeing the post was meant universally, defended including "feint" never the less, with a slight jab at Ump 153.

Not to be outdone, Ump 153 jabbed back. with an elbow.

mbyron bobbed and threw a right cross.

Ump 153 ducked and went for an uppercut.

mbyron tried the old I'm right and I can prove it, just ask me.

Ump 153 responded with oh, yeah, you call that right?

No punches landed, no points scored, no blood let.



Okay, you guys. You both have a history of being better than this.

Ump 153: You are right, if you condition your statement with "as it appears in the rule book....etc.

mbyron: You are right, if you condition your statement with "in addition to what appears in 8.01, a pitcher may...etc.

Now, go in peace.
