You are the umpire charged with enforcing the rules.

If all the prison inmates are willing to accept "let us all out" as the correct result, who is the warden to say otherwise?

Since the warden is a "participant", my conditional is not met.

There is no need for the umpire to hold up his hand because, by rule, the pitcher has an obligation to not deliver the pitch until the batter is reasonably ready. A pitcher who delivers the ball while the batter is clearly not ready (i.e. head down and digging in) is violating a rule. There is no reason to make the ball dead in this situation. Pitchers should have the situational awareness not to pitch the ball when the batter is not ready. Nearly all of them do. |
