Also according to the same rule you can have 2 strikes if batter steps out with both feet *and* pitcher delivers the pitch... You get 1 for stepping out and 1 for the pitch. Now try explaining that one to the coach that loses a state championship with his #4 batter up, a 3-1 count before the violation, down by 1 run with the tying run on 3rd and winning run on 2nd....

That's why if you're an umpire on a state tournament game, you have the werewithal to kill it as soon as his motion starts.
