He said SP. Where the ball lands does not matter. The question is about a pitch that crosses the plate but because of the angle from where the pitch was thrown, it lands off to the side of where strikes usually land. The only thing that matters is whether the PU thinks it crossed the plate on its way to wherever.
Then the batter will use the bat to make a mark in the dirt, either the "line" referenced above or an "X" or "O" where the ball landed. Tell the batter we are not playing tic-tac-toe and wait for the next pitch.
My question is about "as F5 throw arrives". If the ball arrives first, an out. If the runner arrives first, obstruction.
About "Since it's a force, why is F4 trying to block the bag?". He said F4, not Einstein.
