All else is rhetorical.

That's how I saw it. The pitcher in the circle was hearsay evidence to me so since I couldn't confirm that, I wasn't about to invoke LB rule. Guess I was more concerned with the runner tagging or not in the event the ball did get away on the throw back from F5. Should have taken a quick glance.

I guess what I got from the coach could be termed rhetoric.

Thanx.
