I looked through there and couldn't find it. Apparently, I am thinking of another sanctioning body. I definitely remember discussing this for some rule set or another before this season started.

But I'm still not buying the whole "this is just like a blocked ball" argument! Besides the fact that there is a very precise definition of and rule covering a blocked ball, a blocked ball (with a base award to the runners) is the result of the defensive team doing something they're not supposed to do. On this play, the defense was doing exactly what the rule compels them to do!
It's a local rule and not very well written, you have to find the closest analogy if you want familiar ground. But here's my real question about the rule. Comebacker to the pitcher. Pitcher holds the ball up. Does the BR (who isn't halfway to first) score (having been awarded home?)
