Catcher in catcher's box prior to LBR?

[DaveASA/FED]

Thanks, I said leaving early but your right it would be a violation of LBR can't change directions twice. Once returned to base must stay there! I am going to have to re-read the rule I can't remember leaving the base as a violation of LBR, I mean if runner was standing on 3rd prior to the pitcher getting the ball for LBR does it specifically say she can't leave the base until the next pitch? Again I will re-read but all I remember is talk about getting back to base, which would work in this case as they both stopped once and returned, but for some reason I don't remember talk about leaving the base once pitcher has ball in LBR.
