7.05 (f) & (g) - ball dead or not??

[wpiced]

Rich, you have a valid observation. Now can you tell us why the OBR clearly states a 'dead ball' in (g) and clearly omits the status of the ball in (f)? Do you think that the mgr/fist base coach (in the original example) could have protested the game because I signaled the ball dead when I did not have the OBR to support my call? Or, Rich, how about me just making up a rule for 7.05 (f) and rely on 9.01 (c) to support my call.

If one were to follow this thread from the begining, one might get the impression that this is another suttle cry to revamp the OBRs.
