It was a straightforward answer to a straightforward question. No bullhockey about changing pitchers, yada yada, etc. Simply "Can the batter change boxes?" My answer is correct for that circumstance.

As for bluezebra, I confess I took some license from the NAPBL interp on Ambidextrous pitchers. The batter is expected to come to the plate and "take his position in the batter's box promptly ..." If he wants to change his mind once, so be it. But I'll not allow him to make a travesty of the game by switching back and forth from box to box, pitch after pitch. Make a choice and play the game.

To quote one authority, "This is very rarely done in the modern game." Don't make more of than it is. If you want to challenge my answer with nits, well then, have a ball.

Merry Christmas.

You still haven't quoted the rule.
