Steve was helping the OP here. Like a lot of veterans here will do, Steve is hinting at what rule the OP needs to look at in order to make a decision.
Whenever someone comes on here with a question, one option is to just give an answer. That's all fine and good. Another is to encourage someone to get into the rulebook and learn the rules and what they mean. Developing this habit is essential for an umpire, so Steve actually was giving the OP the help he/she was asking for.
