umpire quiz

[Gee]

I'd just call time and put him back on third and tell him he can't do that, using OBR 7.01 which, in my opinion supercedes OBR 7.08(i)and would take it out of the equation. If the pitcher wasn't in position to pitch I would leave him at second, who's to complain?

It has happened to me AFTER a pitch. R1 was stealing, batter foul tips and R1 makes second. Offensive coach yells out FOUL Ball. I turn to coach and tell him it was a foul tip and ball stays live. I turn back and find the runner back at first. Coach asks me to put him back at second. Sorry coach you made him come back to first so you can put him back at second but remember the ball is (a)live. Batter up. G
