Tricky call

[TussAgee11]

The batter has been violated as well at his attempt to hit the ball. There is more to this than just a "balk" ruling (it's not a balk, the pitcher didn't do anything unnatural).

Its sort of like CI as well. My deal with the FED ruling that Uncle George posted is that there may be some sort of declination of the penalty, like CI. Does FED say DDB? or just a dead ball?

Perhaps, we should let the play go until finished (what if F3 throws the ball into left field). I wouldn't be surprised if other rule sets allowed this play to finish before awards.

Don't have my casebooks at college, anyone want to do some research?

Its OBS. Batter was not permitted a chance to hit the ball.

Dead ball, B/R to first, R2 goes to 3B.
