Peter's Intentional Walk/Strike

[Jerry]

j:
I'm not arguing or disagreeing with you, my friend. I was alluding to Peter's much earlier thread and subsequent discussions wherein he had consulted with NCAA. Peter is also an NCAA umpire; so that's where I'm referring to the "discrepancy". My original replies to Peter also had me calling a "strike", but I can understand his reasoning for calling it a "ball". That's all.

My last reply was more in the arena of describing the function of the World Umpires Association. While the WUA is the bargaining agent for the Major League (and Minor League) umpires, rulings regarding the game are reserved for Major League Baseball and it's PBUC arm. That group is made up of interpreters as well as players and umpires.
