Umpire error, or BOO?

[x-tremeump]

This does raise an interesting question... two really...
1) Does your answer change if it was strike three instead of ball four?
2) What do you do if batter hits that 4-1 pitch?


Please tell us, we are just waiting for your words to Umpire by. Maybe the old Irish Ump with the ear rings can help.

Thank you for typing my thought:
" I believe I'd be putting the batter on 1st, no count on the next batter - that next "pitch" wasn't really a pitch - BR had not yet accepted her award, so all we really had was pitcher and catcher throwing the ball back and forth"

I don't know how you can call a strike and ignore the previous ball which awarded the runner 1B without liability to be put out.

Yes, I would award the B 1B and bring the next scheduled batter to the plate to begin their turn at bat.

So you're using Rule 10.3.C? How can you do that after one pitch has been thrown?

No, I would be using 8.1.C

What pitch? Can the pitcher pitch before the BR reaches first base?

An umpire's error cannot put a player in jeopardy. Keeping the batter in the box would be putting her in jeopardy. Give her first base. No count to the next batter.
