There are several interpretations that are different in MiLB from MLB. There are even some rules in MiLB that do not exist in MLB.

MiLB umpires, at least the new ones, are discouraged from reading the MLBUM, JEA and J/R so they do not get any rules or interps confused.

Thanks Garth.

So both sides in the above debate are correct under "OBR".
