The thread includes posts from Wendelstedt School, and, IMO, cogent responses from Coach JM and mbyron.

Mr. Roder's latest interpretations have been used out of context of his personal opinion by just about everybody. He readily admits that in the Chapter 1 title. He gives you "an" interpretation in his book. He realizes other MLB umpires have problems with his "latest" interpretation. He leaves it there, doesn't add, or take away from it. He realizes every other Pro "opinion" has its own unique set of problems. Mr Evans knows this and doesn't bother to address the issue. I am sure they don't worry about what one attributes their interpretation to be in this "small" part of the book. If they knew, they'd tell you.
