So many good posts
But I have to disagree with the last few.
If I am correct about their rule-making philosophy, FED believes in 'punishing the offending team to the maximum extent of the law'.
If that is the case, in this play the batter has to stay at the plate. Obviously, Cav, et al have a great point, you have two separate infractions. But, MC is such a bad and punished play in FED, I would think the rules Committee would add on the addition penalty to the offense in this case.
This sounds like a case book play for next year's Case Book, who wants to send it on?
