As usual, people are focusing on the mechanic Peter used rather than the actual question asked.

I personally don't care what the BU yells -- Time OR Foul. If a normally batted ball strikes the batter in the box it's pretty obvious it's foul. Who cares?

But this call has me thinking -- I normally default to calling this a foul ball. I mean, I just don't think my timing and tracking of the pitch allows me to get such a good view of this play that I can definitely tell someone that one foot is in and one foot is out. If the batter is possibly in EITHER box, I'll call it foul and bring the batter back to hit.
