SP game, lets say the runner, during the pitch, takes a step off 2B towards RF, the rule book really expects you to wait to see if 1) if the ball is hit high enough in the air to be considered a fly ball and 2) if the runner gets a running start.

seems like an awfully worded rule, and really completely unnecessary. and why would a runner want a running start on a FLY ball, wouldnt a GROUND ball more warrant a running start???

For 8-7-V, think here; Tag-up.
