Umpire putting Batter/Runner in jeopardy?

[WestMichiganBlue]

If the batter swung, why was she just standing there?

Because the PU said that she did not legally swing - he called it a BALL!

The BU did not put the batter in jeopardy; her swing and miss / failure to run did

The batter heard ball, she is standing there. Now the BU reverses the call to a strike. Why isn't that placing her in jeopardy?

This is one situation where I WILL NOT go to my partner. I will tell the catcher and/or coach that I made the call and will stick with it - for the obvious reason that the runner did not get a fair chance to advance to 1B.
