I'm thinking I'll get struck by lightning before that type of play scenario happens

Failing to recognize the proper call made by a real umpire, in this case, BU56.
Stumped by that response, felt the call was far more difficult to make than that call to 9-1-1 in the OP.

well, its either hit by pitch or a strike, but not a foul ball if the ball just hits the batter and not the bat

i think more often than not if the batter steps out either just before or right at the start of the pitchers motion, the pitcher stops on his own. i also think if he were too continue, most of us will "give" him the pitch. then deal with the situation as needed.

Where does the rulebook prohibit that? And don't respond with 6.02(b) as you did above. You left out: "6.02 (b)The batter shall not leave his position in the batter’s box after the pitcher comes to Set Position, or starts his windup."

That comes before the line you quoted: "The batter is not at liberty to step in and out of the batter’s box at will."

Clearly the rule is addressing the batter's actions when the pitcher comes set or starts his wind-up. Taking a sign in between pitches is not what is being addressed here.

While the minor leagues have added the requirement of one foot in the batter's box, the major leagues and the OBR have not.

I agree. This is probably the stupidest thread I have seen in a long time!

It's right up there with the old Thomas White's "White wears white" thread.

Hope the headache's better, Ozz!

Don't know which rules he means but this statement is false by all rules I know (OBR, NCAA, FeD, Pony, Dixie, LL, AABC blah) including local rules.
Oh my, the Deej is on to something here.

Then if pronounced dead, do we have a review? If so, and the call is dead, dead when?

Tim.
So a coach can roll out a cadre of corpses, Tim? Fielding nine, eight in play, met the requirements, according to you.

Perhaps a definitive for you, sadly you're miscued emotions bear you as a shallow interpreter of skills. Deej is as good as there is and the testamanet is the respect he receives universally on the field.

I cannot resist:

As coroner, I coroned her,
I thoroughly examined her,
Not only is she merely dead,
She's really most sincerely dead.......
