If the pitcher throws to the catcher without stepping off the rubber, what rule says the batter cannot swing at it? If the pitcher does step off the rubber to make an appeal throw to the plate and the batter hits the ball, the batter should be out for batter interference. But would such a "play" negate a subsequent appeal as intervening plays usually do?? I suppose the pitcher could receive a new ball from the PU, have it indicated as in play and then walk to and step on the plate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-5166850591650896852012-06-29T13:55:33.002-07:002012-06-29T13:55:33.002-07:00I'd be curious to know what popular opinion is...I'd be curious to know what popular opinion is regarding who is the best ump in the game.
