I'm in FED mode now so I'll have to review whether it's any part of the free foot in OBR. Need the whole foot in FED.

jim it seems as though, if it was a violation of the back edge of the rubber, U1 would have blinked, moved or even called something. The pitcher seemed to gain some appreciable distance twoards first but PU evidently did'nt think so and that was his call. I thought it was marginal but he called what he called and made his decision that it wasn't.
