So let's say F2 jumps out and "steals" the pitch at or in front of the plate to catch R3 coming in. The batter doesn't swing so as not to take F2's head off. None of you would call it because the batter didn't swing?

I don't think that's what's been said at all. Rich is saying that "some on another site" believe this.

In your specific example, I'd get it. In the OP, I probably wouldn't.

I would absolutely call that.
