Yes and no. I'm with Bob for the batter establishing his stance. Some also complain that the batter steps out when he swings. That's generally not something either umpire can see if he's doing his job. If a LH batter is 3 steps toward 1B on a drag bunt and has both feet out of the box, I'll get that, of course.
