Whowefoolin:

Intent!!!! Quote the JEA, the EAJ, the AJE, or what other book you want to bring up, but look at intent.

Okay, how about we bring up the Official Rules of Baseball? You do have a rule book, don't you?


6.06 A batter is out for illegal action when-
(c)He interferes with the catcher’s fielding or throwing by stepping out of the batter’s box or making any other movement that binders the catcher’s play at home base.

Do you see the word "intent" anywhere in there. Huh? Do you see any requirement to move? Eh? Do you see anything that even resembles your claim.

No.

Now then, the rule book is explicit. JEA agrees. Every credible experienced umpire who replied to your post agrees.

But this is a democracy. You have the right to be wrong.

But you be foolin' nobody.
