Tampa Bay/NY Jeter HBP?

[UmpJM]

Publius,

You are mistaken.

“TIME” is the announcement by an umpire of a legal interruption of play, during which the ball is dead.

A DEAD BALL is a ball out of play because of a legally created temporary suspension of play.

Is all of this really that serious. It is a player trying to get and advantage. I agree it was not proper to do that, but I do not think he is the worst person in the world because of it. As a matter of fact I am not surprised and never put Jeter on this pedestal that I see others put him on because he is human. It was very funny and not much different than what you see in a soccer game. And it worked. I bet he will not get the benefit of the doubt next time.

Peace

No, it didn't work, because the call had already been made.

He was at first base, so it worked.
