I don't get what you are asking. If I said the umpire could not determine the placement, I didn't intend it. My Q is once the umpire observes the play and determined the bat or batter was hit by the ball with one foot out of the box and one foot in the box, what is the result?

Ha Ha, tough sells are why we are there.
