Actually, GA, I can see where the fans have a hard time dealing with this but they still thing a base award is the base you were going to plus one.
What surprises me is how umpires, who should be able to break this move down on the spot and rule correctly, can't even understand when F1 is set, on or off the rubber -- sigh.... I was right. I woke up one morning and the world got stupid while I slept.
