Batter's Out Of The Box

[T-Rav]

When a batter hits a ball and has a foot clearly out of the box, is this a delayed dead ball or immediate dead ball?

For example: R1, BR hits a triple with 1 out and R1 scores easily. BR hits the ball out of the box.

~You call BR out at the end of play and R1 scores with 2 outs, correct?

Immediate dead ball.

It's an illegally batted ball [ 6.06(a ) ] and that makes the ball dead - runners return [ 5.09(d ) ]

and in T ravs OP makes you have an ejection.

[btw]

Agree with the immediate dead ball, but what would the ejection be for?

The ejection is for MC on F3. And then F4. Then going after the DM. Then a fan. It was a real sh!tshow.

Like the sideshow responses to the basic question here?

Or like your typical response - "Go look it up". personally I prefer the whacky to the unctuous, but to each his own.

I'd better not ever catch you commenting negatively on people who don't read the rule book. Or do you want them to not read the book so you can pontificate on your resultant superiority?

I believe the implication was that when you call out the batter for being out of the box on triple, you're going to end up tossing the offensvie manager when he becomes unglued after the call . . .

[btw]

That makes more sense, especially if it would have been ruled a delayed dead ball.

Rain Man keeps rule books and Websters in the bathroom. Guess which one he read last time? :)

5 bonus points for proper application of often forgotten verbage. Good form!
